    Default Painting a DSi... is it possible? (decoration)

    now I'm not one for normally decorating my gaming devices but I've came into the idea of decorating my DSi, problem is I really don't know what type of paint/w/e the DSi uses! is it acrylic? is there a good way of decorating it?

    Should I make it on a casing or can I just do it on the DSi itself? All help is much obliged.

    Just buy a new case or some sort of skin.

    But if you really wanna paint it then I recommend a sharpie. ^^

    Or oooh you can use tape. Just put scotch paper tape on the outer parts of the DS and then you can draw on the tape.

    You get sick of the sh!t you draw cause it sucks and people pick on you....then just tear that shit off.

    lol. That makes sense. I would think scotch tape would be sort of tacky. if I did anything I'de buy a case (blank) or matching color and sharpie that. the thing is you can do a bunch of different things like print a design then trace it with a pencil, then do the sharpie so you know exactly what you're doing.

    You can actually buy the outside cases for it off ebay or something. It means you'll have to carefully unscrew your ds, but wont be to hard.
