Yeah, I saw your name pop up in PayPal. Hope you enjoy!

Sort of. I'm gonna have to finish the two that I promised to make and then that's all I'll do. They're a headache, there isn't that much demand, and I absolutely do not have the time to offer another service/mod right now :(

Can you use a normal spray paint when painting handhelds? I've got a GBA SP that I want to paint and I was considering using a Krylon Fusion paint. Any advice? And do you know if metallic colors work okay?

Yeah, that fusion stuff is total crap. Plus, since you can't us a primer of any sort with it, it must be apied rather heavily, which won't get along with the right tolerances of the SP :(
Painting plastic and getting a good, durable result isn't super easy and it's pretty much NEVER quick :-\

Hey, wait... Nomad claimed... Nomad sold! How much? Do you replace the LCDs?

He is talking about the gamegear screen mods, but knowing wiggy's work i wont be suprise if he already sold the nomad on the pics. ;D
wiggy:
Yeah, no thanks to Game Gears. Huge headache.
The Nomads haven't sold yet, but that's only because they're still just sitting in a pile of pieces :(
palmer6strings:
I'm almost half tempted to buy my old Nomad back! :P
Na I'm kidding, I'd prolly put it on a shelf and never mess with it again.
