      Thanks Rocker! Yeah, I see a lot more potential, especially if I had white toner, which would be even better for this application... and a colored laser printer would take it to another level.

    Nice results! You may want to look into something like a Cricut if you do a lot more. It can save you a lot of effort on cutting and accuracy.

    So, when boiling the black base coat onto the bottom shell, how did you preserve the bottom info stickers? Also, the port for the modem; did you do anything to protect the RJ11 port from flooding the inside of the modem? Really appreciate the video, gives me all kinds of ideas!

    • @The_SegaHolic
      @The_SegaHolic  3 года назад +2

      Pull off the stickers... carefully! And take apart the modem. Do not cook the electronics! But yeah, let me see what you come up with. BTW, the dying process is very difficult. Temp too low and the dye will not penetrate. Temp too high and the plastic will melt and it’ll be like a wet noodle. The temperature needed is so close to the melting point of the plastic. Also, you’ll need to coat it with clear to protect it. Good luck. And thanks for being inspired!

    Really like the Dreamcast color / decals. I had no idea you could apply tiny decals like that and using the water to help.

    • @The_SegaHolic
      @The_SegaHolic  3 года назад +1

      These are like the decals from scale model kits. There’s some water soluble glue on the back and are made to be used with water. But if u use stickers like on the Toyota Celica Remote Control body, u can use Windex to slide them around and get them in the place you exactly want it. Also helps with eliminating air bubbles. You should try this. I know you’re creative.

    Nice. I would like to also see a good way of *removing* decals from consoles without damaging their surfaces. I had a couple of black SEGA Sports Dreamcasts and I tried removing the decal with what I saw was some of the best recommended techniques (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser) but it left a fine abrasion that removed the console's sheen. So, I ended up covering the SEGA Sports decal area with a SEGA logo sticker just large enough, and it ended up looking nicer having that bold SEGA on a black background. I gave it to my nephew and he loved it.

    • @The_SegaHolic
      @The_SegaHolic  3 года назад

      Yeah, they are not really decals , but I believe the logos are epoxy paint, hence the extreme durability and can withstand a whole range of chemicals. The stuff is never gonna come off without resurfacing or damaging the plastic underneath.

      Maybe to look for something that dissolves epoxy paint, yet doesn't harm plastic? The hunt begins...

      @@The_SegaHolic Definitely! Was already researching water decals for my Retro Game Restore Clear and Smoke PC Engine shells that have no PC Engine logo but I also have a bunch of ratty Dreamcast and N64 consoles for UltraHDMI and DCDigital installs. Was thinking about hydrodipping to hide the scratches but a dye and spray seems to be the way to go. Also plan to see if a trick from the world of 3D printing ABS plastic, "Vapor Smoothening," will help with scratches. ;)

      helps give lubrication so you can slide around the decals to position. Use a plastic model “decal set” like I show in the video instead.
