jeremysart Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I would have posted these sooner, but my camera broke and I had to buy a new one. Feel free to post feedback, but keep in mind these are my first attempts, so be nice! Here is a video demonstrating the consoles: VIDEO (the video may not be "processed" yet, I just uploaded it.) Custom Legend of Zelda SNES This is the third one I did. As all of them, I filed out the lock out tabs so you can play your import games, as well as the addition of a cool blue LED(litteraly, cool blue, they are not superbright. I like these better) Black and Blue SNES My second attemp at a custom paint job, turned out a lot better. Red and Black SNES First attemp, didnt turn out too great, but not completely failed.

MagitekAngel Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Lookin' sharp Maybe I should paint mine, as my main unit suffers from the two-tone yellowed plastic defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ks Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Way to take a bland system and make it actually look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Looking great! Definitely a good job, I like the black and blue one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I really like the Zelda one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremysart Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 The Black and Blue one is for sale at the Taylor Trade Center if you live in MI. I gave it to the booth owner, Game Graveyard, as a gift for donating 4 SNES consoles to me. The Zelda one is also for sale by owner I had a lot of fun making these, so I would definitely like to do more, and maybe even try a hand at other consoles in the future. Thanks for the comments! Oh yeah, I also have paint that identically matches the Original SNES color, so I can also "restore" your SNES and get rid of the regional lockout tabs while I'm at it.

Video Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I like the granite looking paint on the first (third?) console This is a good way to spice up your probably "smokers edition" looking consoles BTW, what paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two out of the three were definitely "smokers edition". Hopefully I can find more of them at low prices, because I had an awful lot of fun doing these. Krylon Real Stone, model paints (spray) and plenty of clear coat gloss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Krylon's got good paint, we used it for some deck furniture and it was the only one that actually stuck good (and still looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagitekAngel Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I would be interested if you posted a guide on your process, as I feel inspired to try my hand at painting a console myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fischer500 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The Black and Blue one is for sale at the Taylor Trade Center if you live in MI. I gave it to the booth owner, Game Graveyard, as a gift for donating 4 SNES consoles to me. I went to Taylor Town Trade Center today to check this out. It was there, and looked even better in person! It was 50 dollars, which was more cash than I had brought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Very nice work! Similar colour scheme to what I ended up choosing for my Zelda SNES and gamecube project - you can check those out at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Colour-your-Console-by-mattyg/125208394171209?ref=ts do you use any bonding agents? Keep it up - awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
