This is the NEStalgia build I am helping GigabusterEXE with.
We are taking his Corsair Carbide 300r and mocking it up Nintendo style.
I am doing the painting portion of the build. It's a work in progress.
Using spray paint. I know of no other way without buying special equipment. And I am a cheap bastard.
Applying four or more coats of each color to make it scratch resistant, and a good solid look.
We tried a clear coat, but it made everything look frosty and white-ish.
Photos:
The faceplate after the light gray paint was applied; the grills and buttons are removed.
We put in the grill, and I finished the Drive bays. I think they came out nicely.
The sidepanels are a darker gray. Has a slightly textured finish, as well.
And that's what we have so far.
Thinking about making the power and reset buttons red, as well as the bolts that were on the front as decoration.
What do you guys think? I will update it as we finish painting more parts. :)
UPDATE. Final build is done. Photoshoot time!
AND THERE WE ARE.
Nintendo themed colors on a 300r.
We are finished with it for now, but in the future, may add red to the buttons/black bolts in the front.
Or possible fans with red blades.
Or maybe a stencil "Nintendo" Logo on the front.
Feedback would be appreciated. :)
