Dreamcast Paintjob

[The Apprentice]

Not perfect, but a really great job none the less. Good job man, nice Dreamcast.

Looks like a quality job and the color is nice and cool makes me think of keylime pie yummy!

It's really funny you should say that, because we actually refer to the color as "keylime pie yogurt green".

It looks great, I actually love the avocado color!

But, you should have taken the case apart, I can still see some gray in the panel lines/case division/vents.

Still looks awesome though!

Yeah I was just noticing that, the funny thing is that we did paint it piece by piece. I guess we just missed those spots somehow. Maybe we'll go back and fill em in.

How did you keep the Sega logo above the controller ports? Is that the original decal or did you remove/paint over the original and then add it back?

My friend actually stuck a piece of scotch tape on there and very, very precisely used an x-acto knife to cut around the logo. Admittedly it looks a little rough up-close, but it gets the job done.

Thanks so much for all the compliments guys!

Looks good enough! The top of my Dreamcast yellowed from being in direct sunlight. If I can't clean it, I'm gonna spray it (original color) so that's why I was wondering. I don't want to lose that Sega logo!

Yellowing is common, Make sure you clean the console VERY VERY well first, a dab of bleach will sometimes remove yellowing, but if you try to paint over it it kinda mixes with your paint and makes a Puke color.

Bleach is going to damage the plastic and weaken it though.

I'll apply what I already did to my yellowed SNES to my Dreamcast, should work out just fine...
