hmmmm. wheels are turning. doubt he has time or wants to but that could be interesting. Why stop at gold? Silver, blue, black, red, etc. Would love to see Zelda 1&2 in that duck tales type casing. Maybe Metroid and Kid Icarus in a nice silver? Mario in red. DUDE! Of course that would mean making new labels for everything. Whole thing is really cool to me but realistically probably not happening. |

I didn't paint em, but I know who did and what they used. I can also tell you that reproducing such a finish isn't at all difficult for most anyone. There are a few products that I would use to do the job. It's not exactly what was used for the DT carts, but is actually a better process which will be more durable in the long run. I'll post a list of what you need along with pics tomorrow when I'm at my computer. |
