Very nice. I'm not much a fan of changing how my consoles look, except (like you did) when modifying a spare. I'm usually a fan of the original look.

Granted, there are a few exceptions. If I could find the right shell for my Dreamcast, I *might* install that... (although probably on my second one if I ever bother to fix it), and while I'm more a fan of the Indigo GameCube, I own a Jet one. Just happened to be the color I got off of eBay a while ago.

I've got 2 more model 2's...I'll probably paint the one I'm using as my other spare is in perfect condition inside and out. It's really pristine so I'd hate to paint on it. I've got a 3rd Dreamcast that's a little dingy and has trouble reading Shenmue...so that'd be the one I paint lol. I've got 3 Saturns and one more coming on the mail that I got for a whopping dollar on ebay. It's untested...so either way I'm going to paint it probably. I'm super pleased with how well the N64 and Genesis came out.

I'm planning on painting them to sell. So I'm sure I'll get better and pick up new techniques and skill as I go.

I would be more than happy too! Just gut it and send me the shell and pay for the return shipping.

That's an idea. I have been thinking about doing a case-mod for one of my three Saturns...

Perhaps you could tell us more about the prepping and painting procedures and materials. I'm curious.

Sand it down with a fine grain sand paper, Krylon Fusion, clear coat. Easy. When I get my next Saturn in the mail I'm gonna paint it like NiGHTS. I need to go buy a couple shades of purple paint.

I'm curious as to how well the paint will hold up over time -- especially on the controller.

After about 24 hours it doesn't feel flakey or sticky it just feels like plastic. Very solid. There's a youtube channel where they paint custom 360 controllers in the same way. Plus I hate the 3 button controller so that's why I painted one of those....if it sucks no big loss to me.

I actually prefer the ergonomics of the 3-button. Both of mine that came with my Genesis 2 were pretty beat up, though.

Jerry: Your video is no longer up, but do I remember seeing a pink Sakura Taisen Dreamcast in your collection?

If so... LUCKY! I want one. T_T

Lol no I've just got a regular Dreamcast...and my videos are all still up....Next time I'm at the store I'm gonna see what shades of fruity purple they have for the NiGHTS project. I just got in my second Model 2 Saturn and that's the one I'm probably going to paint. I've been buying paint at a Meijer....think Wal Mart if you don't have one on your area...but they have a self checkout that actually works compared to the garbage at Wal Mart. I might have to go to a Lowes or somewhere else to find the right color paints. Ordering online is out of the question. The shipping and handling is outrageous.

Well I'll take a picture of my set up one of these days, but my main systems are my Genesis, CDX, Saturn, Dreamcast, Wii, and PS3. Ive actually only owned Sega and was the only person who I know of who didn't own a PS2 and had only a Dreamcast during the last generation.

But I will be adding an original PC engine along with the CD expansion soon to my collection. I used to own one back a few years ago but had to sell it and my collection of 80 games off cuz of financial issues but I will soon own it again and re collect my collection again.
