Revived Dreamcast, Paint job + Power Led

Correct me if im wrong but I couldnt find a modding section on the website forums. If there is one could an admin move this over.

First off i just found the glory of my dreamcast again. there was nothing wrong with the shell, no yellowness or anything but it looked a bit plain so i decided to give it a lick of paint. And a couple of changed.
Main change was the paint. Painted it all white then used black to do a speckley black to white on the full shell. Just used normal matte paint that u can get from likes of B+Q with several coats of clear coat ontop.
Next Major change was the Power LED. Tbh at first I forgot what colour it was origionaly, and though the orange was some kind of waring light lo - fail - but once I cracked her open it was just the 1 led which i changed for a super bright Blue one to match the dreamcast logo. Easy change just a new led and soldering iron.
Power and Open buttons I sanded right back to get rid of the wording on it, now its just smooth. And final change was the controller ports. i gave a fast paint of silver, then sanded it back to the plastic so the a,b,c,d would still be in silver and the control ports where they go in was silver.
Hope you like it, and I am sorry if there is a modding forum.
