Approach it like any other paint job. I dont know much about PS2's, but if you can unscrew the case, do it. That will keep you from getting paint in those delicate areas. Wash it down a little to get all the oil, dirt off. You can sand it somewhat, but remember grip is GOOD. So dont try to go ultra smooth.Spray on the paint, let it dry, sand it and do another coat.

I'd recommend vinyl dye:

Unless you want a "show car" finish, in which case you're in for a lot of work:

i say if they dont pop off from behind, all you can do is tape them off

Here's something I've been expiermenting with. Coat anything you dont want painted with vaseline jelly. This works for small objects that dont respond well to tape. Do the paint, let dry, then wipe off the jelly carefully. Tada!
