Painted My NES![PICS][Controller LED Mod to Come]
    #11654034 -

After refurbishing my NES a few years back (now works like new) I decided to give it a paint job, came out fairly well seeing as I have no real experience with paint let alone airbrushing w/ stencils (the mario figure).  Also swapped out the dull red LED light with a new bright green one and soon will be placing a red led under the NINTENDO logo on my controller so that it is illuminated. 


The camera flash picked up some dust on this one

Make it look professional! I was thinking of buying old brick game boys, repainting them, and selling them. Post pics when you're done. Also, are you adding some sort of finish?

Yea I added into my post that I'll be doing a few clear coats for a finnish.  And I'm doing many many thin coats for the paint so that It comes out nice.

Thought about using automotive paint but after testing the little tray that comes off for screws at what not with the new Krylon Fusion, I chose that.  Worked flawlessly

Krylon Fusion is a fairly new line that is specifically for plastics and composites, w/o the need to put down primer. 

I refurbed by putting in a new connector, replacing many of the cables and a few of the batteries and resistors on the main board. 

I love Jayrods custom NES paint jobs, seeing his was part of my inspiration to do this.  But he is a professional automotive painter and he uses the same paints for his nes, doubt mine will be quite as good as any of his but after three layers of paint everything is looking pretty good already.

I thought about a viewing window with LEDs like he as done but I feel that making a NES look like a tacky gaming computer would be a shame lol

heres some more of his work;

Jesus fucking christ, I HATE painting, lol.  Still came out decent seeing as I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to paint.  Everything was going well until the last two coats of clear coat, some dust fuzzies got stuck and there is a smudge in part :mad2:

Tomorrow I'll put the new LED light in and take some pics.

Good luck.

Those custom jobs are sick.  Do you know how much they run?

I have to sand down the clear coat cause of a small smudge on one side so I'm thinking about putting another stencil on top that is mushroom related.  Also I have and another extra LED that I may solder onto the main boar and glue to the loading tray so if you play with the door open it'll glow the same green as the power light

Unless you have a mint condition NES in the box,
I can only see a well done custom paint job
increasing the net worth.  Very well done, mind you.

yep, they are collectors items but only if they are completely ORIGINAL (includes replacement inner parts) and has the original box either in top notch shape or still sealed.  I would never sell my NES anyways, had it too long
