I used greenstuff I got at a hobby shop to patch the cracked corners, and sanded it down to match after it dried (24 hours). Worked pretty great, but it's a hard thing to work with. Sticks to your hands.

>i spraypainted my snes
>custome paint job


Lol

I am interested in the crack that was fixed and how the repair job looks, but that paint job looks like you just used some nail polish or took a sharpie to one piece of plastic... If you're going to paint it, go all-out and complete the whole console. Or at the very least, add some decorations to it to justify the paint job.

>>1023685
Maybe not the right term for mine, but I'd to see other paint jobs.

>>1023687
The whole thing is painted, white and black. I'm thinking of stenciling something on it as well, but I haven't come up with an image I'd want on it permanently.

>>1023695
should have gone all black. imo that is.
Heck, maybe even gold?

>>1023697

The only problem about using greenstuff to fix the cracks is getting the texture right. Since I just sanded mine down some parts look too smooth. You can see it behind the cartridge slot in the first pic.

>>1023697
Did a bunch of mockups in photoshop first and liked this best. To each their own.

It doesn't look half bad. Most console paint jobs I have seen are glossy as hell because they use car tools and shit. Not that those ones don't look good, but I think people are just use to see it professionally done.

>>1023713
I could've gone with flat black/white, but wanted it glossy. For a second I considered using chalkboard spray, so I could draw on it, but that seemed a bit childish.

>>1023717
Half glossy anyway... It's not as shiny as others I've seen.

>>1023695

Maybe a gold triforce near the back of the console would work well with the black.

>>1023745
I've seen it done too many times. Also sticking with the white and black. Maybe a wireframe of an arwing...

>>1023770
>wireframe of an arwing

That would be awesome.

>>1023684
The trick for greenstuff is keeping your hands and tools wet when working with it.

>>1023790
Yeah. That seemed to help. first corner was a pain in the ass though, trying without water. all 4 were cracked because my mom had the SNES sitting in a bag full of VHS tapes for 10 years.

not retro, but it's the only console I painted. I'm thinking of painting my dreamcast rebel colors to match

>>1023798
whats the switch for

>>1024213
That's the power switch. The purple one on the SNES case is just a cover.

>>1024160
I totally thought you were talking about "Dixie" Rebel. LOL I was like that's the gayest thing I've ever heard.

>>1024213

>>1023702
....lol.

It's Sonic colors. I'm not a patriotic faggot.

>>1025136
and you live where......

>>1025140

I wish my Neo Geo had that art on it. Check out OSKUNK! on flickr, he has incredible stuff on a ton of systems

>>1024586
Nice
>>1025402
Nicer
>>1025136
Too busy for my tastes, but the art is pretty radical.

>>1023702
Black and Gold looks tacky with that much gold. Gold is for accent and trim.

>>1024586
Looks like a Fisher Price or Mobile Suit Gundam edition Genesis/Mega Drive.

>>1025402
R4 Solvalou Bisonte? My nigga! I hope you have a Jogcon to play that with!

Planning on painting an old Gamecube and N64 in the near future. On a related note, I thought it was considered taboo to custom paint retro consoles. Last time I saw a thread on this, some people nearly had a heart attack from just thinking about it.

>>1023704
>You can see it behind the cartridge slot in the first pic.
Why didn't you just add more and re-texture it?

>>1024586

> It's Sonic colors. I'm not a patriotic faggot.
Papers check out. You're clear to continue sir.

>>1024586

Nice, but why didn't you make the ring gold? Would have made more sense.

Made this ages ago, sorry for shit image

>>1025568
If it were in pristine condition I'd agree, but mine was severely yellowed and cracked. It's a shame, but these consoles aren't going to last forever. I don't see anything wrong with making them look as nice as possible.

>>1025630
My original plan was to make it completely smooth/glossy, but decided I didn't like the idea after a bit. That's the only place you can notice the odd smoothness, and I'll most likely be stenciling over it at some point.

>>1025673
Ditto

>>1025689
Where did you get a left-handed NES pad?

calm down dipshit, it's a mirror image from a webcam.

op's pic reminds me of the coloring of KARR.

>>1026289
>>1026294
Macfags cannot into taking un-mirrored pictures.

>>1025402
I want it so bad, exactly like that one or red and white with a side-view of the Assoluto Rondine

>>1024252
>Sudden realization the Blue "X" on an orange background with the stars over it would be fucking awesome
>Suddenly, looking for an Xbox to do it on.

"I wish to change my outward appearance."

If only the KARR series had continued into the 2008 models. KI3T was nanotech and could be literally anything, he PREFERRED to be a Mustang!

>>1026330
That would look decent with a fade. Also even better with dark purple fade instead of white.

>not having the ultra sexy techno rims on a trans/firebird
But at least that thing as the winged spoiler instead of the rimmed spoiler. Not a fan of the asymetric hood bump though.

I miss driving those things, they were amazing to drive compared to nearly everything else you'd find on the street.
