So I just picked up a Sharp NES television (the TV with an NES built right in), and it came with 2 black controllers that only came with that TV. They look really cool and I wanted to use them on a regular toaster deck, but didn't like the way they looked together. I had 5 toasters around, so I decided I wanted to throw a paint job on one of them to match the controllers. I took it apart, bent back the pins and clipped the lock out chip, then I threw 3 coats of black spray paint for plastic (like Krylon fusion) on it and then a couple of clear coats. The pic isn't great, but I think the system looks pretty solid with the controller:
I'm gonna go back and throw a blue LED in there soon, my buddy has a bunch but he is on vacation. I'll update with more pics after. Works great too, fires up on the first try. Quick side note, is there anyway to separate the power and reset buttons from the electronics? I don't mind the look of the system, but I think if I had the chance I would have done those black too. What do you guys think?
