"Cube Spraying"

Some of you may remember the Blube - my blue gamecube.

After an aborted attampt to do something with bamboo (the less said about that the better!), I'm going to respray another.

I'm in 2 minds about how to do it at the moment though. At first I was going to put a black stripe across the lid and down the front, and spray the front grey bit black. Maybe do one of the vents black too.

Then at the diy store I was looking at the paints, and a nice brown went pretty well with purple. Maybe just do the grey bits in brown.

Or I could go for a combination of the two.

*Ponders*

Would look awesome Ipod stylee. Maybe use a neon blue light or something, would mimic an Ipod screen then. All you'd have to do is paint the main black or purple pieces. Leave the controll panel grey, for that silver type color and you're set...

Surely you'd get that problem however you paint it?

I'm thinking you should do every single bit white. That weird, ethereal, iPodesque white. Perhaps a few subtle silver touches.

Make sure you change the colour of the on light to a different colour, too.
A brilliant white LED? Blue would look cool, also.

I want it. NOW!

I would love one of those. What's the SNES Type 2? Is it a mod?

Would have to agree
That is some serious hard work, looks v.cool though.

I could go for white.
The only thing is that I was hoping to avoid painting around the buttons, as my open button was a little 'sticky' when I did the blube.


Viper GC doesn't look that great. The impression that I get is that it's only good for pirated cube games. If I find out otherwise I may reconsider.

Do it brilliant white, and the grey bits in black - or just white again, with a strip of black around the edges.

Personally, I love my black cube as it is - it owns PS2 and XB by a long stretch. Never understood people's problem with it.

But if you spray your cube, in a hundred years it won't be worth anything.

Can't believe anyone actually wanted a purple one. Black one's look far better.

This is still the winner:
