Spray paint sounds great for the base coat, but it'll paint right over all the lines that the kiddos are supposed to use. Unless you *want* them to be more creative. :)

Nice! If it has pre-drawn lines, I'd color it before assembly. If it doesn't have pre-drawn lines, color it after assembly so that the corners will match up with each other.

Post pics when it's done... or ban!
