Custom NES original colors on Ebay

[NesOverride]

I know this video is super old, but I was wondering how I would go about learning how to paint and stuff like you do. I have a bunch of old consoles and am trying to collect more but some just look really bad and I want to be able to refurbish them to be better than you, maybe even customize them like you do. So any advice? Also, do you repaint the nintendo nes logo on the doors? Thanks a bunch.

This warms my heart like 1985 x-mas morning. Shit that looks good that is skill you impressive fucker

[Baddassattuide]

You said you buffed it how did you get the letters then

[Steelix100]

So shiny...

[emshicks321]

what kind of paint did you use?

[jayrod2]

@emshicks321 I did not paint this one. Just sanded and buffed.

[zenREVolution]

@jayrod2 how did you buff it out? i have some very high grit sand paper but im unsure on how to buff it. please help thanks in advance

[jayrod2]

@zenREVolution I used a buffer made for cars/boats and 3 different grades of compound also made for cars. The compound is pretty expensive.

[zenREVolution]

@jayrod2 what sand grit # progression did you use to sand it? sorry for the Q&A but i just want to do mine right.. thank in advance!

[jayrod2]

@zenREVolution started 600 and finished 1500 all wetsand.

[zenREVolution]

@jayrod2 thanks so much! subscribed :]

[jayrod2]

@zenREVolution Thank you!

[emshicks321]

[AlirazaVideoGames]

[elpoli305]

When will u place another nes on eBay man

[jayrod2]

@elpoli305 I dont use Ebay anymore because I get enough orders through Youtube messages and E-mails. Let me know if you want to order one. Thanks!

[TheBillbot]

Looks great

[luisjr1611]

It's fucking beautiful =D

[ThePHENOM987]

can you do an snes w/ the original colors? BTW, love your work

[JacobVloggs]

It wont have the same feel

[jayrod2]

@JacobVloggs ??? Seriously, how many times are you going to feel up your Nintendo?

[JacobVloggs]

@jayrod2 No like the paint usually is like.. Diffrent... IDK

[cookiemonster3182]

@jayrod2 i do every night



[jayrod2]

@cookiemonster3182 Ha! You are an exception my friend.

[kingryan3000]

you should take a SMB cart, rip the stickers off, and paint a picture of mario on it!

[mcintosh86]

3M buffing compound is awesome, but it's a little too expensive for me. I use Norton Black Ice buffing compound. It breaks down as you use it so you don't need to use different compounds, just different buffing pads. How did you do the stickers? Did you buy a new door with the stickers on it, can you buy the stickers new somewhere?

[jayrod2]

@mcintosh86 Yeah its expensive for sure. Those arent stickers, they are painted on.

[mcintosh86]

@jayrod2 It looks great man.

[figaro589]

I wouldn't say custom for this. I'd say more of a restoration but it looks beautiful

nice work!

[affansonicfan]

what kind of wax did you use to buff?

[jayrod2]

@affansonicfan Buffing compound, not wax. Its 3M Finesse it II but its $35 a bottle and you need 2 stages of it.

[affansonicfan]

@jayrod2 is the buffing compound what gives all your mods that great shine?

[jayrod2]

@affansonicfan Theres alot more to it than that.

[affansonicfan]

@jayrod2 well can you tell me? I mean...it can't be THAT complicated, right?

[jayrod2]

@affansonicfan Its a combo of very good prepwork, good basecoat, high quality poly clearcoat, good HVLP spray gun, the right PSI, the right gun settings and tip, the right strokes, correct flash time, correct mixing ratio, enough curing time, correct sandpaper grit, color sanding, the right stages of compound at the right time, and the correct buffing pad at any given time. Buffing pads arent that cheap either.

[jayrod2]

@affansonicfan So yeah, it is complicated and even scientific. Its not as easy as some may think but Ive been painting cars for 13 years. Just saw your video BTW.

[ts14james]

how did you sand and buff without loosing the letters on the front?

[Ksixstring]

will never sell m9, avin da for life

[yourweedsux]

this is one of my favorites.... all of them are awesome... but i love the original colors! this is a beautiful thing! haha

[jayrod2]

@yourweedsux Thanks

[DonkeyPunchin]

How do you polish an nes? I work in a bodyshop so I'm no stranger to buffing and polishing, but my nintendo has a textured surface. I'm assuming that one did aswell at some point. Do you sand it smooth or what?

[jayrod2]

@DonkeyPunchin Good ?. Some of the earlier released NES's did not have the rough texture. Instead they were smooth all over. This was one of them so it was easier to sand and buff. You could do it with a textured one but it would be a ton of work.

[DonkeyPunchin]

@jayrod2 thanks

[scottnaotakun87]

im gonna buy and nes off my friend and i might need to do the same and this is gonna sound funny for me to ask you this but whats the best sandpaper to use and buff cause i might have to do the same thing

[jayrod2]

2000 grit scratches are pretty easy to buff.

[irarawkstarr]

You super collectors put me to shame... Mine just looks like a regular ol Nintender. Works perfectly though.

[MegaMacTV]

The way it was meant to look. Very sleek. Very nice. Very NES, lol. What you have done here is slapped matte finish in the face. In this case, that is good!

[mannesx]

where u get all those nes that you sale???

[digifred7]

good wotlk

[videogameobsession]

Cool. I remember my first few NES consoles were smooth plastic coated. Sadly, as you mentioned, they are hard to come by.

[debrwllms]

Very Good!

[acornstu]

shit! it looks like new

[acornstu]

shit... you beat me to it! looks nice bro

[jayrod2]

LOL.. I didnt even paint this one. I just buffed it out.

[Glennfalconi]

Can you tell me how to do this ( Tutorial )?

It's usefull and makes your nintendo Uniqe and look like new!!!

[axxelander]

wow, nice nes. I gonna do that no to mi old nes

[davidyugioh]

Sweet wotk you made the original nes brand new keep it up! :D

[GeezuzKhrist119]

i like the look

but i think since the nintendo looks new, the games should too. like new labels

[jayrod2]

That was the only Mario 2 I had. Its alot harder to find than 1&3. I was gonna leave it out but I said what the heck.

[GeezuzKhrist119]

ahh atleast u got all 3

[bosnia91]

how much would one like this cost?

[jayrod2]

I dont market these because it takes a special NES to be able to do this. One that has a smooth top instead of grainy and they are hard to come by. I could do it with the regular grainy texture top but it would be ALOT of work.

[stvlu733]

I'd just do it the easy way and use some armor all. Less effort. Wow thats nice and shiny!

[jayrod2]

That wouldnt work. How would it be shiny if you dont sand down the grainy texture on top? Plus, it would slip out of your hands LOL!

[NewTyhuss]

OMG! THATS AMAZING!

[jayrod2]

Thanks! It took alot of buffing!

[NewTyhuss]

Lol, i wish my NES has a 72 pin... mines you gotta mess around with to get it to work...
