can you recommend some paints for when I paint my xbox 360?

I want to paint my xbox 360 console a blue metallic candy color.

I know I have to take it apart and I know I have to sand it down with fine grit sand paper.

But do I have to put a layer of paint adhesion too if I sand?

And for the blue candy effect..

Do I have to spray a layer of silver paint before the layer of blue paint? Or do I not need the silver layer...

I want my xbox to look like a freshly painted shiny metallic car

What paint brand should I get? What style of paint?

I know I'm gonna need to put a clear coat?

What brand works best...

I gotta another question..

I want to paint another xbox matte black..after taking apart and sanding what are the steps for that??

Thank you very much.

    i would recommend grey primer, a couple layers of silver, then a couple layers of candy blue, then several layers of clear coat. the secret is patience between coats, and many thin coats as opposed to a few heavy coats. krylon is a good brand, stay away from anything water soluble. as for the matte black, use matte black paint, followed by matte clear coat found at a local hobby store.
