Is it safe to paint an original nintendo with an airbrush and the paint used with airbrushes?

I just got an old nintendo and being that it looks like crap I wanted to give it a fresh paint job - I've thought about using Krylon fusion but I don't think I could get close to the original stock colors using that.Is it safe to paint an original nintendo with an airbrush and the paint used with airbrushes?

They have an article on a guy that custom painted one for his girlfriend and also a link to the DIY instructions on how to paint your own Nintendo in a similar way.





Looks like priming and treating the underlying surface is half the battle; the other half is using the correct tools.





You could also check out Instructables.com and see what they have in the DIY section; it's a cool site and some of those people are geniuses!

As for it being safe to do so, if the Nintendo you are going to resurface has collectible value on its own (you referred to it as an ';original'; Nintendo), it is probably not safe to do as you will change its original state.





But, you also said it ';looks like crap';; if it has no value as is, then painting it probably will not matter too much.
