My SNES paint job
« on: July 15, 2013, 06:26:44 AM »
I don't care if my SNES is no longer "original yellowed plastic" or "collectible". It just looked awful. Now, I think it looks a bit better.

I'd paint what gray stuff you've left on there.  It looks kind of funny right now.

I would go with black for these spots.

I like it. Been thinking of doing something along those lines myself with my spare SNES. Nice work.

Agreed, though I'd stick with red for a more simple color scheme and I'd get some stickers/transfers to replace the lost labels.  In any case, she looks much better now.

Prior to the paint job, that could quite possibly be the ugliest SNES I have ever seen.  It looks like it was stored in the bottom of an outhouse.  I would have kept a dust cover on it non-stop just so I wouldn't have to look at it.

Nicely painted.  I'd paint the rest as well, just to hide the last little bits.  With them unpainted, the memory of the "ugh" factor will still haunt you every time your eyes fall on the unpainted bits.

I think the original SNES suffers from discoloration worse than any other console I've seen, and just like the OPs, it's always distinct sections of plastic that look like they sat in a cesspool, while other pieces look fine.

Good job, it does look a lot better now.  Is there a reason why you didn't paint the yellowed trim around the controller ports?

Pretty cool!  Good job.  Definitely paint the remaining but I see why you didn't.  Want to keep the logo eh?  =)

Heh, I didn't notice that; I thought they were painted gold.  :mrgreen:

BTW, when I first read the title of this thread I thought it said "My SNES hand job".  Man, was I disappointed.  :cry:

I just looked at the original post again.  That unpainted SNES almost makes me want to puke.  How could you live with it like that?

Thank God you painted it.  It looks 1,000,000 times better.
