Hello friends,
I've decided to paint my red gameboy white, and have run across an issue with the disassembly. I could tape over the screen before painting it, but is it okay to remove the adhesive holding the screen on? I'm afraid that if I remove the screen, I won't be able to put it back on. Is it worth removing or should I just tape over it?
Thank you!
EDIT: Title needed changing.

I can't even address the main question until you answer my own: why would you paint a red-boy white?!

Can you buy a grey one and paint it? Colorful guys are so beautiful and it's a waste to paint them 
Or buy a clear boy and paint it white from the inside in this case you'll have more durable color.

I wouldn't mind a reason to buy more gameboy...
Geez you're even in Detroit. I'll give you a grey shell for the cost of shipping....
Well I had no idea this was a hot button issue, so in exchange for the answer to my question, I'll paint something else white. One of my GB micro plates is looking like a good choice.
If you remove the screen you will have to glue it back with the glue. It won't stick back on its own. Alternatively you could buy a new screen cover that already have adhesive. It's a good option if your screen is scratched.

Gotcha, thanks.
