Indeed.. Maybe it's just crappy paint after all. Well, at least you tried 
Better not risk it then.
Although I do recall seeing some glowing gameboys...

The thing with spraying clear gameboys is: it doesn't really matter how they look on the inside. It can be cracked an globby, as long as it covers all it'll look good from the outside.
Unless the cracks are too big and split up the paint layer.
You should test it on a tranparent plastic container of some sort. See how it looks from the other side.

Re: painting buttons (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You could spraypaint them. but it probably won't last very well.
You could also dye them, but that probably only works when you have white buttons.
So, probably best if you just order coloured buttons.

Hack it and use it as a midi controller.
Also, did you just call the Gatari a stage prop?

Re: Help identifying stuff! (7 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
The grey black thing is bottom right is probably a multitap. So you can play with 4 players. The small thing above is an infrared sensor for a wireless controller.
The pink thing... My guess its a (bootleg) game cartridge with a handle on it.
Oh, found it:

How is your spraying technique? If you say it came out thick and globby, maybe you sprayed from too close and a bit too much.
practice your spraying on other materials.
some guidelines:
stay about 20 - 40 cm above from the object
Always start and stop away from the object
Make gentle strokes, left, right, over the object you want to spray, not too fast, but not too slow, so you form an even coat.
Always wait for the first coat to dry before adding a second one (read the label for drying times) If you spray an extra layer on a soft layer, the first layer isn't able to dry correctly, and will stay fragile.

There are a lot of variations on that theme. Pirated cartridges that hold 10 to 1000 games. Come in all different shapes and colours.
Not originally by Nintendo, as you rightly stated.
The little button on top is to reset the gameboy and choose another game.

Oh, about that wire. It's indeed a sort of coating. If you want to solder it, simple hold the tip in molten solder for a few seconds. The coating wil melt off and the solder wil stick to the wire.
No need to scrape it off or burn it off. Takes some practise tho.
