Pimped Out Flu

[daclassicgamingmaster]

well, i got my flu today, and naturally, i dissected it, desoldered it, painted it, resoldered it, broke some wires, spliced the wires, soldered them again, and took the pic :huh:

enjoy

what do u guys think? is it better, or worse than the blu i painted?

holy shit, that's awesome

That is probably the sexiest paint job on a handheld I've ever seen h34r:

one thing i learned tonight;

NEVER PAINT A FLU

kinda makes me wonder if the hell i went though was worth the hotn3ss that came out

 

[Alpha2]

That's one funky paint job man, Hotness. But does it still work after all that?

one thing i learned tonight;

NEVER PAINT A FLU

​

Why?

Anyway, very nice job! B)

 

[V3X]

coz the light wires are very fragile and come off too easily, then theyre an asshole to solder back.

BTW, vey sexy indeed!!

 

[cozmic]

It sure is pimped!!

 

[Iorgy77]

Am I the only one who thinks the colour scheme is a bit... well... gay??

It looks fabulous though... in a homosexual kind of way.

 

[mrdark]

Nah, looks pretty flash to me! Nice job, wish mine came that way.

Well, anyone who hasn't seen my old NLU yet, I have a picture here.
(be careful: HIRES )

 

[Jaw]

owf. that's nice ed! @_@

also, the wires in the flu ain't that bad, they must of used lead free solder (which sucks) to keep the wires on the board, just suck the old off, pop some new 60/40 on it and it should be ok

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

i thought when i chose the color scheme it was FAR from gay. w/e i guess people are entitled to their opinions :rolleyes:

Why should you never paint a FLU? Like v3x said, the wires are a bitch to solder, mainly cuz they're so damn fragile.

It was pretty ironic, as I got past painting without having to desolder anything. I simply used a ziplock baggie to put the pcb board in (taped that mofo up too ), and then put painter's tape on the light in the front. As I put it back together, the fucking wires all snapped , and I had to whip out the soldering machine. wasnt too bad though. The damn Lcd ribbon wouldnt go back into the switch, and the grey plastic middle was jammed. PLUS I HAD A MOTHERFUCKING MIGRANE :rolleyes:

everything works thou. and it looks sick. just think twice before painting a flu. its a "headache" (no pun intended)

I was thinking a similar thing, but decided not to make a comment as everyone else seems to think its great.

Still, I have to admit I like to see any modded GP32. I personally would only paint mine though if I could find a chromed type finish (not just silver, but chrome)

 

[Magus 86]

How exactly are gold and silver gay? Is there some kind of rule I've never heard of that states only homosexuals are allowed to wear anything made out of those 2 metals? Or are they the only ones who ever have worn them? If neither of those 2 is the case, then I fail to see a connection between the colors and homosexuals...

 

[Jarska333]

The excessivenes of the usage of gold and silver is either "gay", or "pimpish", or even "rap-ish".

lol nice pic

and as far as the paint job goes on the flu i like it...(idk why everyone is saying it looks gay.....it jus looks a bit pimpish)

 

[Alpha2]

You know what you can do to avoide the "Gay" comments? Photograph it sitting on the ass of a "Big booty Rap hoe" next to a gold, jewel studded pimp's gobblet.

Pow.

You're a hustler baby. B)

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

for the dude that wants chrome....they DO make chrome spraypaint. i almost bought one

 

[EvilDragon]

Yeah, but AFAIK the chrome paint rubs off, as does silver and gold paint.
