Alright, I'll try to describe the entire process in a relatively short post, lol.
First, you unplug your PS2, the controller, memory card, etc, then you turn it upside down, remove the 8 screw panels, set them aside, and remove the 8 screws. Be VERY careful removing the top cover off, as the two front buttons are connected by a small ribbon cable that pulls out VERY easy, and is extremely hard to get back in. But, if you do it, you can fix it later, you just need a small screwdriver, and you have to get it in between the pull tab and cable (you'll see if you mess up) and push it back in.
Remove the buttons from the top panel, and set it aside. Oh, I forgot to mention, take out the expansion slot cover if you didn't already. Alright, inside you'll find another 3-5 (Maybe more) screws you'll have to remove. You'll know them when you see them, I think, they're pretty big. Just look to see if it's connecting the insides to the plastic, if not, leave it alone. Once you've located and removed them, you'll need to go to the fan and slot the power cable/button fit into, and find the screws, remove, and set aside. Now you can pull the insides out and set them in a fairly safe place. If you have bubblewrap, I'd suggest putting it in bubblewrap and putting it into a box.
Ok, now you should have the top of the case, the bottom, the expansion slot cover, the fan cover and power cable/switch slot, and the 8 screw covers. You may want to clean them a little, but it's not needed unless your PS2 is excessively dirty.
Now you take your items to be painted to your painting area. If you have a workshop, or a garage, I'd suggest doing it there rather than outside, because there's less chance of dust flying around and sticking to your paint, making the job look bad.
(Edit: Make sure you cover your serial number sticker with some type of tape before you paint, otherwise Sony might not repair it, but I don't know. It's better to be safe than sorry.)
Now all you have to do is take your color of spraypaint, and apply very light coats. The first coat shouldn't even cover the surface area. Allow it 5-20 minutes to dry (Depending on your paint, the Krylon dries in 12 minutes if you apply a thick coat, but it only took around 5 for the coats I worked in). When it dries, apply another coat, and allow it to dry. Keep working like this until your painting is finished, and then allow it 1-2 hours to fully dry before putting your PS2 back together.
You could also use different colors for the top/bottom panels, or use masking tape for a custom effect. You're only really limited by your imagination, since the supplies for this project are really cheap.
Well, that was long, but hopefully it will help anyone who wants to paint their PS2.
