You never paint anything assembled, why did you do that?As for the rest, nope, you voided the warranty when you started painting.That's a 250 dollar (plus tax) life lesson. Horrible Mistake!

I don't mean to be a jerk ..................... but why would you paint it? It's a nice glossy white. And why green? Silver or black might have been cool ................. but green? Anyway, to answer your question I doubt they (nintendo) will fix it for free. One way or another I think it's going to cost you like 150-250. But you never know I could be way off. The only way to find out is calling nintendo my friend.Good luck
man no offense... but that was a really REALLY stupid thing to do

If you were going to do this, send it in to the professional custumization websites. I don't get why, the only thing that I might do for 11 bucks at most would send it in to a pro to paint it black.
Hm they may suspect something when the inside is all greenish.. and that smell..
Aww i feel for You though. I hope they'll be nice to You. Crossing fingers..
If you wanted to tag your Wii, you should have used a Sharpie.

Call nintendo to find Out but i think they will not fix it for free

But a sharpie doesn't use paint and I think he wanted to use paint.
Ouch. I just wanted to see the nature of the ''horrible mistake'' and damn that sucks. Good luck trying to remove the paint and getting Nintendo to honor your warranty. Live and learn I suppose.
Why do so many people make a big deal about what color their Wii is? I remember reading posts about people holding out on buying one until (insert color here) is available. Does it matter that much that you would risk ruining your $250 investment just so it look different?
What a waste, I mean no offense, you could've sprayed a bit on the side, but really, WHY DO YOU NEED TO SPRAY IT!?! YOUR LOOKING AT THE SCREEN NOT AT THE WII WHEN YOUR PLAYING. I mean no offense, but that was stupid, 250$ mistake, call Nintendo.
did you spray your tv screen as well? did you do it during loading times?It doesnt take much to get a foreign object on the CD reader head. I think it may be time to get a new one. You should get a mod kit next time
That's why you look at your Wii and see that there are openings for that kind of stuff to get inside. Good luck getting that fixed for under $200
You should have looked up information on it first. Also, don't pay attention to the nay-sayers, it is very possible to paint the Wii without pulling it apart, it may not be perfect, but only as good as you can do it. The keyword here is MASKING. If you're good enough at masking the parts and areas you don't want pain in, then your console can look awesome. That takes time and patience and you need to know what you are doing.Of course, nothing better than pulling the Wii apart (warranty voided the moment you do) and painting it. It gives the best results, but the Wii is a very meticulously piece of electronics, everything is really tight in there and if you do not make notes of how you pulled it apart, then well, good luck.If you by chance live in the San Francisco bay area, I'd be more than happy to take a look at your system and see if I can fix it. It should be just opening it and seeing where the damage is and if it can be fixed.Here is what I have done with my systems, yes, I pulled them apart.
