Gp2x Case Mod

[grahf]

Thats not my style case, but :thumbup: to you for doing it. Ive been hesitent to paint one of my handhelds, because i worry about the paint wearing or chipping.

I DID paint my original NES about 16 years ago with automotive paint, and its still flawless to this day.

You need to modify the skin so the white strips follow throw on the display.

Well here it is. It took a little muddling to get the stripes at the proper angle and width. It's just a modified Candy skin.

One with White balance set to the screen.



And one with white balance set to the light.

wow, that looks really great..this is the only gp2x paintjob I've and I bet it will be one of the best

A very nice creative way to change the exterior and the interface of the gp2x.
Love it!

The modified skin really gives it that final bit of "zing"! Great work!

 

[torpor]

gayest thing i've ever seen.

 

[ninjak]

did you just look in the mirror or something ?

My Mk1 metallic purple is far gay-er!

 

[Magnulus]

That is decidedly a gay GP2X if I ever did see one.
Coincidentally, it's almost the exact same colour that my mobile phone is.

I still have trouble seeing what the point is of using "gay" as a derogatory remark. It's not like it's a negative word in any way. It means either "happy" or "homosexual", depending on your intention, which are both far from negative. I guess that also depends on the person saying it...

I like duckies.

How did you get the logo over the paint? Or did you paint around it?

I think its just purple marker. Then again, I could be wrong.

 

[X-Code]

Maybe a colour filter in photoshop?... I think that all these colour mods are looking quite good anyway B)

 

[ste_167]

Yeah, a purple marker, I've not a steady enough hand for spray painting! I tried to blend into the grey/black around the logo. It worked to some extent, but looks alot better on my photo than in real-life

 

[X-Code]

It's a good job and far less destructive than paint if something goes wrong

 

[ninjak]

If you make a mistake, there's always nail polish remover or paint thinner. It'll strip off just about everything, including the logo.

 

[X-Code]

Yeah, but that could damage the plastic if you're not careful .

And I don't use nail polish or nail polish remover ( ok , I guess that my gf does but that's hardly the point as she doesn't live with me since I found myself a new gf ( a sexy GP2X that never argues with me ) ) . :lol:

 

[Paradox]

wont the paint come off over time and look shitty?
