    Here goes,

    I jay bought a new housing for my blackberry pearl, and I want to paint my old one. (instead of just throwing it out) it's a little scratched, but I was wondering,

    Have any of you painted your blackberries before? And what kind of paint did you find works best?


    Because, personally, I don't think blackberries need to stay black. Lol

    Use a model paint. That's what tends to work best on a plastic shell. Make SURE the paint has dried and then apply the casing.

    I went to school for painting cars, and I know about prepping befor painting, but I was completely unsure of what type of paint would be best.

    Not a problem. and remember you'll want to sand down the casing, and any flaws after painting, then do a second coat..
