custom GBA

Post by zoki64 »

Hi,

I wanted to show you my latest paint job. This pearl green paint changes the color depending on the lighting conditions. If it is exposed to artificial light and you are looking at it from the right angle the pigments change the color from green to gold. sadly i could't get a good photo of this effect

:shock:
That's not a factory color?
Amazing attention to detail. The green peeking out behind the screen cover and clean edges around the system sticker are most impressive.

Beautiful as usual. Your stuff always photographs so well outside. Is there a website or single thread we can merge all your paint jobs into?

So smooth. Looks professional.

backlight (eg Afterburner) gave bad image quality because the way it had to diffuse light meant that the image looked pixilated as the plastic light diffuser was thousands of small squares. Not worth doing, it was disappointing.

Lovely paint job BTW!
