Hardware Want a Zelda 3DS? Here's how!

[weatMod]

I am actually contemplating doing this...

Don't forget to sand first with an ultra fine grit paper
Also don't use spray paint cans ,get one of those mini model airbrush kits that connects to a compressor and also you can get frog tape for the stencil maybe anything but not paper and pre moisten it with a little water before spraying also might want to use a primer and prep the surface by wiping it with clear vinegar then alcohol 1st

I think I'm going to stick to decals, this is too much work

Also, I own a red 3DSXL, the bottom is red.

I think he does spray the bottom. At one point I thought I saw screws on the bottom of the DS and it showed him paining it black. I have no interest in this though so only watched it once - And laughed when his first go failed

 

[earny]

I think he totally failed since the stickers are too big and dont fit the 3DS, maybe he dont know how to resize when printing

It certainly has that "it's totally spray-painted" look to it, which I'm not 100% sure why you'd want that.

 

[Slushie3DS]

His painting technique is atrocious.

 

[Joe88]

why didnt he just unscrew the covers?
its just 4 screws

The top lid is quite an achievement to remove.
That's why..

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Wow. That looks TERRIBLE.

 

[Issac]

Urgh, I really dislike his method....
I like the song though. It's the instrumental of Die Antwoord - Dagga Puff.

It's actually not too hard to remove surprisingly, i just hate hate those little rubber screw caps that have a really thin metal plate on them >< they tear easily enough. Once those four screws are removed you slide the top cover away from the L/R buttons, and after a little movement it just nicely pops right off, please don't pry it. I already tried that and wasn't too pleased with the results.

Much more legit method

 

[DjoeN]

Did he also paint the camera's?

Anyway, that's why i like the N3DS so much above the N3DS XL, remove cover, replace cover

I know so, I worked at a console repair shop, but it is not that hard, just requires patience.

Now that is actually one I wouldn't mind buying

Sell it in eBay for 400 dlls.

No, he put tape over them.

why not just get a decal? easier and looks way better
