Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
Can someone say Krylon Fusion and Avery Adhesive Labels from Staples? Yeah, if that's high quality, then I don't wanna know what the crap is.
You actually found his nicest custom mod. Seriously. He's got more custom garbage for sale too.\
The guy says he details cars for a living :-\ Can we figure out who he is so none of es ever make the mistake of employing him?

I know you hate krylon fusion wiggy, but I've gotten nice results with it. =P
On the other hand, my c*ck could finger paint a better console.

Agreed... I've gotten pretty good results with Krylon Fusion as well. I'd certainly suggest higher quality if one had the means and ability to use it, but for the budget conscious, it's not terrible. At least not in my experience (though it is admittedly temperamental and can go bad real quick in poor weather conditions). That said, I've done a couple dozen custom consoles myself and (not to toot my own horn) they were miles better (and cheaper) than this guy's work. Definitely not Wiggy level awesome, but still pretty decent I think.
I don't want to knock the guy too hard 'cause maybe he's fibbing a bit about his experience and is still learning techniques and such, but I find it somewhat shocking that he's actually sold a couple of his custom systems (according to his recently completed eBay listings). He seems to be seeking top quality level prices for bottom quality level work. But hey, apparently that appeals to someone at least.

Should be pretty easy to tell I imagine.
I liked the unpainted parts on his NES Zelda one.
It made me want to cry -- it also briefly made me want to throw a pile of cash at Wiggy and a NES and N64 and say "make me a true zelda inspired custom painted console!"

I offered him 12.00 for it. He didn't accept my offer :P
Check out "custom NES guy" on youtube and FB. Now that's a guy who does body and detail work that I would trust with my console.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to diss Fusion so much as call out his "highest quality" comment. I mean, look at that megaman NES controller overlay. It's a mess.
My biggest issues with fusion are A) it doesn't bond to very many plastics at all, contrary to what the label says, and B) you can't use a primer with it, so you'll need like 10 coats if you want to paint a black console white or any lighter color, effectively turning your console into a giant, doughy looking mess. It has its uses, they're just VERY limited in my opinion.

Agreed to most of that. There's no way I could have gotten a lighter color.
I couldn't force it to chip though (was checking durability in unseen areas)
but I waited the 7 days for full cure before reassembly. (2 coats Krylon, 2 coats clear)
Pic because I never posted one :P

Oh My F^%&^ing God, is this guy for real lol. he ruin those consoles, my 4 year nephew can make a better paint work on those consoles.
ohh and the controllers are pain in the ... to think of a custom design........... "Ohhh, this stickers looks great on those controller with some B F D stickers too, this is a custom design so i will sell them for 149 dollars with a painted N64 with some stickers" for one of those with that kind of bad painting i will probably pay 1.50 and im paying a lot of money for tha sh&^*^t lol
Nes megaman: i won't say anything, just that make me cry and lough at the same time, 400 dollars for that sh^&*. some idiot would buy that but for that price you can buy a Wii U or even preorder a PS4
I have an old broken Nes some where in my house, i will search to give it to my nephew to see if he can make a custom design with crayons and i will sell it for 400 dollars, at the end it would result much better looking than those hi is selling :P
Edit: Wrong names :P
@Snesguy: that one looks great, like your work, you took everything apart to paint. excellent work
