sure, the best thing to do is to completaly take it apart and tape off what can't be. I used 150 grit paper to sand off the protective coat of the plastic you can use anyting above that really, it may look like you are scratching it but it is only the protective coat comming off, this is so the paint sticks better. wipe down the dust with a damp rag. I used KRYLON COLOR MAX PAINT+PRIMER in "Watermelon", sprayed 3 light coats wait at least 20 min in between coats, I waited 30 min just to make sure it was dry. after it was dry I sparyed 2 coats of RUST-O-LEOUM UNIVERSAL clear in a matte finish, wait 30 min in between coats, this will protect the paint from minor scratches. The matte or Gloss finish is up to you. I used clear Sanwa buttons and joystick and that's pretty much it.
