Post by NES Modder »

I posted this in forum 42 and i dont know how to move it here or delete it from forum 42 or i would.

well, i'm just beginning to get into modding consoles and i want to paint my NES case.

BUT, i cant figure out a way to NOT paint over the power, reset, and nintendo labels that are in red.

A mod will lock the other one eventually. I suppose you could you use tape but that would be difficult.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.

I have heard that lots of people use clear decals after painting. You can probably find a hobby store that has either rub on letter decals or a decal making set. After applying them, you can use a clear coat as that will pretty much make the edges of the decals invisible.

Simply take apart you NES and Place tape inside where the Power/Reset button is, for the Nintendo sign you might need to put tape and cut out the excess tape with a X-Acto knife. Thus reproducing the sign in tape over it.
My portable thread:
Not stating any project again until I have a job.

Can't you just take it apart and take the buttons out, wait for paint to be ready, then put them back?

I am looking for a grad school to go to in NY NJ area for Masters of Fine Arts in the field of painting. I am looking for a good balance of traditional and modern environment. I paint in realistic style, but incorporate a lot of abstract and modern concepts. I know there are many art grad schools in this area that is why I am looking for people's suggestions from their experience. What is a good grad school for art (painting)?
