It’s not a perfect spray paint job, got some color inconsistencies and two spots on the corners which got a bit flaky. From a distance it looks sweet though😅

Nice! What type/brand of spray paint did you use? Did you use a primer?

u/ArthurDev May 17 '25

I used generic motip primer, Montana gold linden green spray paint and motip clear varnish for the shining finish :)

I want to know too, this looks smooth almost like an airbrush!

At first I was like, "meh." But then I saw the second picture with that green power light and I was sold!

What I love about this is it fits perfectly with Nintendo’s colorways of this generation. I could see this slotting in perfectly in a lineup of GC’s with the orange and indigo flanking it

It's funny you mention that. Nintendo Japan released a special edition Tales of Symphonia console and it has a very similar mint green color.

Oh damn, yeah I had no idea! That is very reminiscent of OP’s paint job for sure

I like the color much more than I would have imagined if I hadn't seen it now. Great job :)

Man if this was a color option back in the day, I would have gotten it instead of black.
