3DS Dreamcast Project - anyone good with painting plastic?

[url=http://imgur.com/a/bBA6I][b]Additional images found in the gallery[/b][/url] Ever notice that the 3DS and the Dreamcast Controller have the same layout? I did a few days ago, and I took to Photoshop to design this special 3DS. It unfortunately doesn't exist, but after seeing these images and the positive reaction from various communities [url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=548552]such as NeoGAF[/url], I just [i]have[/i] to make the Dream a reality (pun intended). But I need your help! I have experience with Nintendo hardware, so that part of the design shouldn't be a problem. What I'm clueless about is how to paint or dye matte plastic. The logo itself [i]could[/i] be a decal, but even that would be difficult to come by. I'd prefer to paint it anyway, but I'm not even sure what kinds of tools or kits I'd need to go about doing that. And what about dying the buttons? Anyone have experience? Somebody mentioned air brushing the logo or something but that's foreign to me. I posted in here since it's [i]technically[/i] a paintjob that some may have knowledge about.

    I found [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-Airbrush-Kit-6-Primary-Colors-Air-Compressor-Dual-Action-Createx-Hobby-Set-/320807478352#vi-content]this airbrush[/url] which might be able to do job as far as I know. Already pushing price range I was intending for supplies, but I think this will do the swirl and even the buttons. All that would be left would be some sand paper, primer, and sealant/gloss, which shouldn't be too expensive. Yay? Nay? Besides, I think I'll be left with an extra 3DS anyway (assuming I don't mess it up) so I could sell that and make back some of the dough.
