This GameBoy was cleaned just like the others, but I made a few mods:
- Vinyl dyed the case housing satin black. Doesn't chip off like spray paint!
- Black dyed start and select buttons. Using this technique I discovered.
- Black buttons, power switch and link port cover from ASM Retro
- Black screen protector from KitchBent
- Green LEDx3 Backlight from KitchBent
