    The right paint makes all the difference. I've painted lots of plastic models and they held to all the handling. 'Zoom... Zoom...Zoom'. It's good to see an option that doesn't require expensive purchases.

    Watching the process of personalizing a mass-produced item to make it yours was fascinating.

    That turned out to be sturdier than I thought it was gonna be. Keep us updated on how well it holds up.

    Back in the day I spray painted my ps2 slim with a bright orange splatter design and even painted a matching controller for it ahh the good old days when I took stuff apart without knowing what I was doing lol truthfully not much has changed happy teching techdweeb 🤓

    Try wiping the buttons down with some isopropyl alcohol before painting. It will get all the finger oils off and make the paint stick better. You could also spray a thin coat of primer before the color coat.

      Good suggestion!

    Try painting the buttons white first and then paint them with the color you want. Makes the colors look more vibrant!

    I loved it, I'll choose a color that fits with my Miyoo Mini's directional and try to do the same as you.

    considering doing this to my dpad and face button on my psp. Just a splash of pink on the black and silver device would look good, I think

  • @highpineapple

    If the paint held up, I'd get silver paint and paint all the buttons on that LDK.

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh man, I thought I had it all figured out with my orange, but silver... that sounds shmexy.

    Any possibility of a future video on your full retro handheld collection? Any other handhelds your interested in?

    Tech dweeb's shadow is human-shaped! And this was one deduction wasted.
    Russ from rgc had a device with small tolerances, can't remember which, that worked great with black buttons, but they stuck in a factory colored version. Which might mean absolutely nothing to you, but it may just make a device unusable.
    Did you see the Xiaomi screwdriver set? The basic one (no idea about the electric). It's pretty great in my opinion. For example, XB360 controller has some deep safety screws that people usually complain about - I had no issues whatsoever. Quality is nice, packaging is nice. It deserved my recommendation.

    I heard somewhere that the buttons are "backwards" due to something about how the Japanese read from right to left.

    Ever heard of the "analogue pocket"? It's runs Gameboy, GBC and GB advance cartridges...not an emulator but emulator adjacent I guess

      Yup. Looks great if you have a decent physical game collection.

    I don’t get it, do you paint on a base coat, and spray on an isotope? I will watch, to make sure.

    Hey, Dweeb. I found my PS Vita slim......ah. time to load it up with fan service games.....since my Switch has a busted fan.
    I'm gonna get other nerds to fix it for a small fee. I don't feel like accidently brick it.

    • @TechDweeb
