Custom Painted SNES

[Ishwhale]

Got tired of looking at my used, grimy, dull gray Super Nintendo. So I busted it apart and painted it. It's nothing extravagant, just cleaned up. I think they should have made them this color scheme in the first place.

You make old consoles look so clean This makes me want to go play my snes again

Beautiful! I should totally do this to the old piss-yellow SNES I have sitting in a box under my bed.

Looks good.

No wonder you wanted to remove the controller port plastic. XD

 

[Ishwhale]

Eurddrue: Definitely go play it. It's god-like.
T_W: Thank you very much!
Budnespid: Yeah I ended up stuffing the little holes with bits of tissue and cutting a stencil to only show the little holes, then sprayed white to offset the black around it. So it ended up working where I didn't need to pull it off.

Excellent job man! What kind of paint do you use, Krylon Fusion? You seem to have the best paint jobs in terms of stock looking

You should have changed the LED while it was open. Either way looks good!

I use montana brand spray paint. it's the best paint on the market in my opinion. Sticks to anything. However it runs at 9 bucks a can.

I actually plan on changing the led. Gonna be blue.

That'll look good. I literally started taking my phat SNES today. I didn't have any special tool so I took my Dremel tool to it.

Very clean looking! This makes me want to paint my SNES Mini and add a power LED.

I love the paint job. If I ever get around to building a portable, I want you to paint it. I believe that this is one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen. Yes it is simple, but that makes it better

Which kind? They have a bunch of different kinds.

 

[Ishwhale]

Montana gold.

 

[J.D]

Does it change the texture of the SNES?

 

[Ishwhale]

Only a bit. I spray clear coat on it though so it makes it semi-glossy and has a smooth feel.

This is nice - when the image first came up, I was like, "OK there's the 'before' picture, now where's the af - OH SHI-".

Adding to the megasticky.
