Tried it. It works. Good if you know someone with one of those UV plant lamps.
But if you're goin to paint it, Krylon Fusion for plasics. Get a color coat and a gloss coat. No primer needed but do clean the surface. And if you have one available scratch up the exterior with a scuff/scratch pad.

and how did it look? did it get the original grey color or did it just "whitened"? also, isn't the sunlight enough if you want UV light?

Sunlight should be enough, from what I'm reading, but the chance of you getting a good amount of sunshine isn't the same in Seattle, WA as it would be in Miami, FL. It's simply an alternative.

also, i still don't own a amebit. for this retr0bright thing theres one solution that makes it into a gel. since i don't have the gamebit i can't open the
console, sso i need to do this without opening it, do you think the gel thing would work?

Yea sunlight is great, but I live in NYC and if you leave something sitting out in the sun you'd be lucky if its still there when you come back lol. If you can isolate it with a UV lamp you can get better results and faster ;). Did it on my DMG's. And on my snes.
