Painting Matte Finish on Console

Post by Beak »

Hey. (Before someone links me other threads about painting: I've read them and couldn't find anything about this. It might just be a simple answer.)

How could I paint a console to have a matte finish? Is it just a different type of paint? Would I be painting the console (a Dreamcast) any differently? I was looking at this http://www.krylon.com/products/matte_finish/

While I'm not painting my Dreamcast like this, I would like the black portion to be like this: Image

That's clear coat. There are specific paint for plastic but I think too shiny for what you want. Maybe use automotive flat black spray paint. Pop the shells, clean with alcohol and spray a couple light coats.

How dare they paint dreamcast to resemble the xbox. Xbox took over dreamcast generation, that is why we don't have dreamcast 2. Xbox ruined dreamcast future life.

The OP is just trying to make a black version.
There is a limited Sega Sports version.
