Start by placing newspaper on the area you are going to paint on. I would start with a very light sanding of the finish w/the lightest grit sand paper. Clean away any dust from the sanding. CAREFULLY mask the areas NOT to be painted. Use 3M blue masking tape for a clean line. In a well ventilated area, use a gray primer as a base for the final green coat. Shake the can well, you'll hear the ball rattle inside. Shake the can often during painting both the primer and green finish coat. Krylon is an ok spray paint. However, you might check w/a local hobby shop and see if they have spray paint used to paint plastic model cars in the shade of green you need. Always follow the instructions on the paint can.
If you can, remove the back, and if possible, the chassis, picture tube and the front control knobs. Doing this might reveal that the front can also be removed.
Good luck w/ your project and pls. post the results.
