Very slick.

Just curious but what material did you paint on to your Wii?

crazyeddy17 · 01-19-2007, 06:28 AM

i used car paint and cleared it after. I had to scour the surface first.

yeah it looks like its pretty shiny. i could see the shine on the chuk in that one picture. i dont have the skill or patience to do something like that but im glad others do.

I have to admit, you did a good job of painting it. Even so, I think that you should sell it on eBay for a bundle! People would pay so much more for a black painted Wii.

If you look right below the picture, there is the ebay auction link.

So far the bid amount is really low. Looks like you're giving Nintendo some competition. Make more colors and I bet there will be plenty of people that'll buy them. I'll take that over custom stickers anyday.

the auction just started 7 hours ago, and has 6+ more days! Keep an eye out

DeathsHand · 01-19-2007, 08:20 AM

That looks awesome, makes me want to paint mine...but I can already see myself messing up somewhere haha.

What about heating problems. Won't the paint bubble when the Wii gets warm?

If he truly did use car paint, then it shouldn't bubble up. Auto paint is engineered to withstand extreme natural outdoor heat.

Nice job.
I would like to see the buttons on the wii and wiimote painted black as well but then you'd lose the stickers on it.

Still a job well done.

sgllocal · 01-19-2007, 02:22 PM

yeh thats a good job and well done mate. could be onto sumthing here lol. did it take you long?

Master Foot · 01-19-2007, 03:20 PM

Some racing stripes would look cool too.
Didn't it hurt at first to scour the Wii first? I couldn't bring mysef to do that.

LuzTeTT · 01-19-2007, 03:24 PM

Amazing! You're going to make a lot. Maybe you should consider a career in Wii paint jobs? Lol, seriously.
Make a black Wii with Mario on it and I'll pay $1000! -smirk-

Sick as! i would be scared to do that xD
