I've been painting and doing case jobs on Game Boys now for little over a year. I take pride in my work and I love doing it. I hand paint every single piece with a brush. I don't use stencils and I do not spray paint, unless asked to do so. Spray paint ruins the original feeling of the DMG cases and I personally don't like messing with that. If you are interested in having your DMG, Pocket, or Color painted just let me know and we can talk. I'm not going to list prices as every piece is hand painted and unique. If you are interested contact me either on this page or in a PM and give me an idea of what you would want done, and I can give you an estimate of how much it will be once I determine how long it may take me to paint. Also I DO NOT paint your case until I sketch an image out and send it to you via email or however you want and you approve of it. Also I use Modeling paint so it's not easy to chip off or peel. Takes quite a beating before any ware and tare starts to show. The NES Boy for example was painted over a year ago and is handled everyday almost and it's just starting to show some scratches around the speaker area and Select button.
If you have a band or you are a performer and you have a logo or name you go by I can paint that on your case if you like.


Here are a few examples of my work starting with the first piece I ever did.

The NES Boy:

Mods were done by George of Modolith.com

The Pink Peach:

Did this one for my god daugter.

The Harley Quinn Front:

The Harley Quinn Back:

The Soundwave:
-Sold

The SteamBoy/Clockwork Boy:

I even Customized the Power Switch with a pocket watch dial for added effect, as you can see in the image below.

Also I only charge for time not materials such as paint. Unless you are wanting something really unique like The SteamBoy, then I have to buy the parts to do that, which will be added to the cost. But I will get quotes before I go buy stuff. For example, let's say you want a DMG covered in Lego's, I'll have to buy the Lego's. I will search online and local hobby stores for bulk batches or Legos and give you a quote on the cheapest batch I find. Say it's 15$ but I only use half of them on the DMG. I'll only charge you $7.50 for parts used.

If you're interested in getting your case custom hand painted, or customized in a crazy way, just hit me up and I'm sure we can come to an agreement. I am willing to take on any ideas. I will, however, let you know if I honestly can't do what you're asking or if I even have any doubts.

Thank you. xD

I'm curious about the clockboy. Was that originally a clear case, and if so how did you get that awesome color on it? By the way, I absolutely love the Harley Quinn one. wink

Thanks man, glad to see someone may be interested lol. And yes the clockboy was clear I dyed the case with black dye and that's how it came out. As for the Harley Quinn thank you loads man it took me about 36 hrs to to paint it. About a week on and off. If you want anything like either of these I'll do it and give you a really good price. Just hit me up man. And thanks again.

do you use a sealant?

I do if you want me too for added protection. I personally never ear coat my personal gameboys I keep for myself because I don't like the feel it gives a gameboy. I like the texture of the original DMG makes them even more unique in my opinion because every Nintendo handheld released after the DMG is very smooth. I will clear coat the paint jobs if requested, I have clear gloss and clear matte I use as sealant. It will cost no extra for me to seal the paint job. However I have never had an issue with any peeling or chipping or smearing except for my NESBoy. Makes it look a little rugged in my opinion. You have to keep in mind it all depends on how you handle your gameboy, if you don't take care of them they will scratch wether its sealed or not. Anyone that spray paints game boys will tell you the same thing. I know I went into a lot of detail but I just wanted to explain it best I can. In short, yes I will use sealant if asked. It will help for awhile but it depends on the handler of the gameboy. I u
Am very careful with cases and she. I do seal them I paint them on thick plastic with a towel under the plastic for padding. You're case will be in the same condition as received when returned to you with the exception of a new paint job of course. xD

Okay guys, I am currently painting a gameboy for a customer and I should be receiving another customers case soon. I am only taking on two commissions at a time. If you want to grab the slot let me know and we can work something out. Depending on what you want prices start at around 45$ and up. All depends on how detail of a paint job you want. If you want the lettering painted a different color or what. Throw me ideas about what you are wanting and I'll hook you up. Cases I paint will be added to this page and saved to my photobucket. Slowly getting a gallery built up of all my work. Repeat customers get a 10$ of next paint job and I will cover return shipping costs.

More cases I've done for recent customers.

Texas Longhorns:

The Mystery Machine(work in progress):


And here's and little peek at whats to come...

I think brown wasn't really the best choice to go with blue.
Also the dye looks really fucked up.

Lol it wasn't intentional it was a mess up dye job I did one sy when I first woke up and I was so tired I forgot to stir the dye. It looks weird in this picture because of the flash. In actuallity it's pretty badass. I'm turning it into a Fallout style gameboy. The buttons actually glow blue which makes it look even cooler.

I think it looks awesome! I would leave it the way it is and match the Gameboy lettering to the blue button lights. Then I would put a big nintendo decal (same color as lettering) across the front tilted to make it look like a sticker that was just slapped on. That would be one tough looking DMG.

and the mystery machine is sweet! big_smile

Haha thank man! Yea I love the way turned out actually. I posted pics of it lit up as stuff on the handhelds section. The plans I have for it ate actually kind of exciting and will be awesome if I can pull it off. I'm planning on actually cutting into the case with a Dremel and then melting other plastics into it front the inside so it'll look like its melting from the inside out. I'm thinking an orange backlight and then possibly painting a biohazard symbol on the back.

Btw I only posted that gameboy on here because I'm working on a Domo doll gameboy and it was the only gameboy I had at the time that wasn't taken apart. Using a grey boy then using the fabric you see in the picture and putting it on it as making it a domo doll with bendable arms that can actually be played! Red backlight and I'm debating on button colors right now. I want brown by they are a bitch to find so I might go with black but they are also a bitch to find and kitsch is sold out ATM. Soni might be stuck with red or white buttons for now.

Also the mystery machine gameboy is being painted fr a customer and then getting shipped to a buddy of mine to be pimped out with some badass mods. Orange backlight green power LEDs and a bunch of other stuff. I can't wait til it's all finished its going to be very badass it's it completion.
