Hello. I've been thinking about customizing a Wii of mine by painting it gold. I've got the gold Wii Remote+, nunchuk, and classsic controller, so only the system itself needs the Midas touch.
My question is: Where do I start? I've never customized a console before. I'm not afraid of taking my Wii apart... I just don't know much about spray-painting. I've read that I should sand down the plastic first, then spray in even layers, and finally seal it with something. A in-depth tutorial with pictures would be really helpful, but I haven't had any luck finding one yet.
If anyone here could share or direct me to the info I'm looking for, I'd appreciate it.
For reference, here are pics of the gold controllers I have:

My goal is to paint just the Wii's shell that exact shade of gold. I'm thinking it would be best to leave the Power, Reset, and Eject buttons white, so their labels remain intact.
Also, I've considered just ordering a gold system skin or replacement case. However, the few I could find for sale online do not seem to match the gold controllers.
Thanks for reading, and for any advice!
