ok i have painted my gbc using that other topic, but can i paint/spray paint my ds or any of my gba's or any other consoles easier than the gbc so i dont have to take it apart or something
i think you would get better results taking it apart and painting the shell and top coating it. If you mask the screen and buttons it may end up looking tacky or paint can leak and mess things up royally- besides it looks so much better if you paint the shell alone.
Spraying would be the best options, but you will need something to cover your screens and you need to get them dry ASAP when spraying the buttons, D-pad etc. Just to let you know, I have a Gold DS lite ;D
try using the stuff they use to cover books that doesn't leave a residue- either that or give some blue tape a try- just be very careful Water test before painting so you wont miss any leaks- and dont turn it on until its dry. When i did this before i got a small area of paint on the black outline of my GBC screen because i wasn't careful- so watchout I still recommend you take it apart and spray just the shell...
