So first thanks to everybody for his or her suggestions on the mission! It was nice to see different appreciated it as a lot as I did. I needed to share a few of the imperfections I not noted with angling and causes I deemed it not prefect and methods I’d enhance sooner or later.

The primary picture is the faceplate I initially paint however didn’t take into consideration how the DVD drive button would look. I used to be sad so determined to get a second one and a few 6mm do stickers which I layered 3 to cowl it and as soon as painted used a pastime knife to rigorously lower the stickers out.

The second picture is that ultimate faceplate and though it has imperfections the place paint leaked by way of the masking tape as a result of I held the can to shut when touching up the strip, the clear circle button I ended up with was 100% what I used to be going for.

The third picture is a results of my masking tapes edges being broken which wasn’t nice and brought on me to must redo coats just a few occasions earlier than I used to be comfortable.

Fourth images reveals masking strains on the again from both a lacking layer of paint the place I masked and sprayed the strip first moderately then priming all the aspect then masking the strip whereas I sprayed every sides color coat or it’s as a result of I didn’t enable the paint to dry sufficient earlier than masking which I additionally discovered in different elements and needed to repair with re-coats.

The fifth is the ft on the underside of the console I want I eliminated these and glued once more as soon as completed as a result of they’re appropriate for paint and are already flaking.

The ultimate images are the console once I pulled it out of storage in March this yr. This was my first console I owned and obtained as a present on my twelfth birthday in 2012 and yeah I performed lots of it and it’ll all the time maintain nice recollections with mates regionally and on-line. The within has been totally clear and repasted so hopefully it may possibly final me for a lot of extra years.

I shall be keeping track of the standard of the paint over time and seeing it lasts as a end coat was not used to guard it.

Since opening up the console 5 months in the past I’ve been studying an increasing number of about them from movies and opening my consoles at dwelling and turning into extra fascinated about electronics repairs, modifications and so forth. As such I’ve been working towards soldering in between the paint job of this Slim and am excited to develop my information on this area.
