I got a slim that I plan on glitching, only problem is the case is all nasty looking.
So I need to know the following...

1. What professional paints I should use?
2. Where can I get them?
3. What technique should I use to paint the case?

UPDATE: Forgot to mention, I will be painting the slim case a flat solid black; just to cover up the ware to the case.

Hello,
I use rustoleum 2x coverage.. Personaly the best spray paint out there. Your can find it at any home depot. Before you paint make sure there is good ventalation and dont let people walk threw the room they will stur up the air and cause dust particals to land in the paint. Also make sure you clean and lightly sand with very fine sand paper and paint evenly threw strokes.. DONT hold the nozzel it will cause drips and blotches witch will make it look ugly. If you have any questions or want a custom paint job on nearly anything pm me. Hope i helped, xReLoads

o yea use a clear sealer after so the paint cant get scuffed up

Okay sounds good... Would you by any chance know how to paint a slim faceplate? It has the touch sensors around the button and all so...

Yes, you need to be careful and make sure you tape off all all sensors and important areas with scotch painters tape. The on/off button is a bit tough to tape off because its a circle but with some patience your will get it. Also to cut the tape accuratly you can use a exacto knife.
