Gp2x Case Mod


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.

That is decidedly a gay GP2X if I ever did see one. :D
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.

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