A couple month ago, I was given a pal Nes by a friend, that did'nt work.
I change the 72 pins connector and it worked like the first days :).
I decided last week to custom it for fun, with the idea to transform it in a famicom style.
I began with the console :

I'm now looking after a spencil to make the nintendo mark. Also I did'nt paint the power and reset buttons, cause I don't have spencil to do that. Kepping these buttons isn't shocking I think.
This week I'm doing the paintjob with the pads, I painted pads in red and the pads overlays with gold effect :

For the writings (select, start, B, A...) I had the idea to print it directly on the overlays with my inkjet printer, and it worked :'( :

Now, I have to varnish the pads and the job will be done :D.
nice one dude
HELL!!! That's bloody good :) One question - didi you applied clear coat on top or it's just gloss paint?
On the top (and for the rest), I used a coat of primer, then sanding with 600, then white car paint, sanding with 2000, polish, varnish, and polish :)

Looks pretty good!!
Your red nes controller reminds me of a project I did for a friend. I turned an old nes controller into a Tg16 controller then I painted red manly just because. :-X
