My Own Black And White Gp32!!

[divadsci]

here it is

ah the wonders of a permanent marker and varnish. im exremely pleased with how the black parts look shiny and natural(well more natural then i would expect)

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

Thats pretty kool
Even though I dont like the color scheme...

 

[divadsci]

if i had had a dark green pernament marker at the time it would have been different, but i quite like it like this.

 

[Tobriand]

Lovely... and you don't even need to take the thing to pieces in order to get it done. Rockage

 

[divadsci]

tis however recommended. to stop getting it on the main body

 

[crazeeplaya]

To be honest, I think that looks horrible. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder :lol:

 

[divadsci]

i am comtemplating doing the actuall body as well, but im not sure whether this method would be very good for larger areas (might go a bit stripy)

Not a very smart move to make the frame around the screen black. Black is actually the worst color to have since it doesn't reflect the light. There is a reason for virtually no computer screens being black around the frame, TCO even has a much higher requirements for screens with a black frame, because of the issues that follows with it.

doesnt seem to affect it much. anyway if it does get annoying i can just pull that off (no protective screen)

There's a slight problem with using simple pemanant marker. It's only permanant if you dont touch it. After a few days of constant use the oils in you hands will eventually start to break down the ink because it cant fully be absorbed in to the plastic.

I fear what your GP will look like a month from now.

Even with varnish?

 

[divadsci]

as tobriand said. i had already thought about that. do need to add some more varnish though, only have a tiny coat.

Black 0wnZ

nice work :lol:

 

[Alpha2]

hopfully varnish will seal it. I guess time will tell!

 

[divadsci]

by the way if anyone is planning on doing this i have a piece of advice-do not try to redo entire areas once it mostly dry, it ends up very smudged instead you have to go over specks you missed EXTREMELY lightly. foudn this out with the joystick :rolleyes:

 

[mikepaktinat]

Sharpies and such a soluble in organic solutions such as the oil from your hands. They really shouldn't say permament, it should say "water resistant"

good luck with that. You'll soon find out that your fingers will start looking black and it will smudge onto other areas of the GP. I had a ti-83 my mate marked up all the buttons as to confuse me. All the marker was gone in atleast 2 months

 

[papapopalung]

I like it. maybe black nail varnish would be more permanent...?
