    I'm thinking of spray-painting my PSP green or yellow. I know you can buy new shells in different colours to the original - so what should I do? Is spray-painting the PSP worth it? (Like will the paint peel if you use that sticky shit?) And is the portable fairly easy to re-assemble? I know there are tutorial's on Youtube, but I don't want to be half-way and it's like "Oh no, the paint's peeling" or "Where does this component fit in?" Thanks in advance.

    If you can dissasemble and reasemble it without any fault then I don't see why should there be problems when you've spray painted it.

    PSP's are ridiculously easy to take apart but most consumer-level spray paints are low quality. It will absorb oil from your hands and become discolored and will flake over time.

    I'd encourage you to read the rules for the forum. They're pretty straightforward and there aren't many of them. http://www.pspmod.com/forums/introdu...uncements.html

    I say no Spray paint, i had some success with Acyrilic paint at one point, but either way it all wears off eventually, its just a matter of how much you want on your hands after you fucked up some asian kid in Monster Hunter

    I wouldn't mess with spray painting it, I would just change the housing.

    I'll be the number two guy here on PSP MOD in six weeks, How? Name repition, personality mirroring and never breaking off a handshake. I'm always thinking one step ahead like a...carpenter that makes stairs.

    Using a clear spray as a top layer might prevent that. Every ps3 controller painter uses a clear layer after painting.

    i had some suxess with this a while back

    i basically used an acrylic paint like plastikote (not sure if you can get that in USA/CAN ) and i rubbed down after each coat, then a few layers of clear coat. worked a treat.

    If I can find my images, i will upload them to show you what they can look like after done.
