I have recently picked up a pretty shabby lookin NES, so I had a couple more and I decided to slap a paint job on it. I picked up this NES for about $20 and it was incredibly dirty. Surprisingly, it plays very well.

It is not complete yet as I want to get a white NES decal to put across the top at an angle. Here is what I have so far:

You also changed the LED? :)

Yes I did:) It wasn't too bad at all. I think it really looks nice with the blue system and blue LED. I felt bad painting over the Nintendo logo on the front, but I think a white Nintendo decal will look pretty neat across the top. This was basically just for fun because I've never done anything like this to a system before.

That looks really neat.  Thanks for sharing. :)

what kind of paint did you use?

It looks great, especially for being your first time doing it!  Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks everyone :)

coinheaven,

I used a spray paint for plastic from ACE hardware. I would not recommend using this because it took forever to dry (even though it says it dries quick). To do the touch-up work around edges and painting the buttons i just sprayed some in the cap, let it sit for about 8-10 minutes and applied it. I also think the surface would look a hole heck of a lot better if an airbrush was used (which is what I'm going to do next time).

ok, thanks for the info

It looks pretty cool dude. Take picks when you get the logo up.
