I want your input on the paint job I've been planning all along.

It's the halloween confederate flag!

I think you might be able to make it look good, but it has potential to look ugly with all the holes in the case.

Didn't notice.

I just needed to think of a nice case color that I can do with painters tape.

Update in first post.

I'm starting to think my updates are getting too small to mention. Oh well, I'll do a lot more before the next update. Anyway, update in first post.

lookin' fine. Like what you did with the cartridge slot

I really can't believe that it's only because the front is a mm thinner that it fits.

Ok definitely going with glossy black. I didn't want to do white because to me it kind of looks unfinished. But I was worried about not being able to read the 64 boy on the back, so I tested it with drilled samples, and guess what, It's even easier to see then white! The camera doesn't do it justice though. It looks really nice in person. I like a black portable way better then a white one.

It would be rad if the battery indicator light had a diffuser and shone through the drill holes.

just use the diffuser sheets from fried screens

That would be really cool but that defeats the entire reason there are holes there. It's for the n64 ventilation. The chips are aligned right behind the grill. If there was a diffuser sheet there it would block the holes.

Not sold on that paint concept. Grille idea is a fantastic one, though.

Well I think I'm going to just make it solid black. I was thinking orange an black would be a cool design but it doesn't look like orange will look good on it. I was hoping for 2 colors though. So most likely will be black unless someone thinks they have a good idea to incorporate orange.

Did this a few weeks ago to my rumble/memory pak

I love the look of black & white contrast. You could make the buttons white, or the back, or have the left side black with white controls and the right side white with black controls
