Wow....I'm speechss, this is one of the most beautiful Dreamcasts my eyes have ever seen. You picked just the right color, great idea. How much paint did you use and what was the cost? If you don't mind me asking. :D

Thanks guys :) .

I used 1, 3 oz. spray can lacquer, Brand- Testors. You probably could use another can to be safe becuase I used that 1 can completely. Sorry I don't remember the cost of the paint exactly but I think it was about $5.00 for the can. Not bad though.

It turned out pretty good becuase I had access to a climate controlled paint booth and help from someone who is good a spray painting.

Thanks guys and welcome to the forum.

Bryan, its actually not too hard to paint your DC. But its good to get a cheap used DC as a spare to paint just incase you mess it up.

That's pretty slick looking.

I would try to attempt to paint one of my Dreamcast's, but I don't trust myself to not mess it up :P

Haha, don't worry I'm the same way gravy, but you know me,
I would rather take a risk even if it means
screwing up in the end, at least I can say I did
something! Plus, it would still be a fun experience! X] :mrgreen:
