Materials needed:
A can or two of KRYLON FUSION gloss for plastic spraypaint (make sure it's the exact kind if you want it to look good, as it does not require any pre-paint prepping or sanding.)  They are $5 each at ACE hardware, you can also get it at wal-mart or AutoZone, but it's more expensive.
A small flathead or Tri-Wing screwdriver.
A small phillips head (optional, but VERY helpful, unless you enjoy a whole lot of masking tape)
Masking tape.
You can get all of the materials at pretty much any hardware store. 
Now, PROCEED!

Step 1The Maskening.

The Maskening.
Apply masking tape like so. And then open up the battery cover and mask all the battery contacts on the right side of the Gameboy.
Make sure the tape is applied generously, you don't want any paint seeping through or getting through the small cracks and openings somehow, don't rush. This may take a bit, so turn up some dubstep, or your preferred muzacks. 

I rushed, so there is still a bit of green on the side of my screen.
