I would suggest taking it apart and spraying it somewhere outside.

Ermm.. whatever you do.. do not touch it with paint    Get the two-tone.. gloss.. or Glow in the dark plastic foil for it, like the one Jeff Hardy used to wear

its easy but time consuming especially if you want it done right, first if you want to do it proffesionally quality take it apart sand it down, re primer it , pick you color put at least 3 coats of paint down, then a clear coat put it back together. Go to a local paint store and ask for a paint gun cost maybe 15-20 bucks you might need a compressor, then buy the paint from them. If you want it to look like you ps3 now ie. glossy, if you spray paint it, it will look 'flat' like the 360 elite, but that could be your style. If you do it right you might even be able to get it glossy, by good paint, do i correctly, and it wont scratch as much as a normal PS3!

 

good luck!

i remember this guy who painted a PS3 white, and another one red. there was a complete tutorial on how to do it. he sold it on ebay, so maybe you can go look for a red PS3 on ebay, and then end up with the tutorial.

you should put the ps3 logo in the font like the ps2, with a blade underneath it colored with red to look like flames.

1.  Get a nice, dirt and humidity free place to paint.

2.  Buy some spray plastic primer.

3.  Buy some general prupose indoor/outdoor spray paint, glossy

4.  Buy some clear coat finishing spray

If you're careful, this should be an easy job.  Take all the plastic pieces off, prime it, paint it, finish it.  Put it back together.  if you've never spray painted before, I wouldn't do it.
