Yellow be gone!

MOS-6581 · 11 October 2002, 00:52

This used to be such a nasty shade of yellow... I was going to chuck it, but I didn't have the heart to, so I sprayed the yellow bugger!

Shatterhand · 11 October 2002, 02:51

Is it a japanese newspaper in the background ?

Unknown_K · 11 October 2002, 03:20

What color is that? Couldnt you pust paint it light tan?

My a500 is mint with no yellowing and its staying that way!

Djay · 11 October 2002, 03:24

mmm, i feel a bout of "Customize your Amiga" coming on...

mines not too bad, so i wont bother!!!

kriz · 11 October 2002, 16:08

mmm nice, really bad with those yellowing amigas (computers) ...

freshing it up

jmmijo · 11 October 2002, 16:15

I kinda like that color, not flashy nor overstated

Jan · 11 October 2002, 16:25

What about the keyboard? At least mine is yellowing, too...

Amiga1992 · 11 October 2002, 18:13

The keyboard is a real problem... Did anybody ever try to MASk all the letters and try to spraypaint it? It would be a helluva job but it might end up being nice...

However, just imagining the size of the masks gives me a headache

Unknown_K · 11 October 2002, 18:32

Im sure you could use a paint that is translucent so you can see the keys

Amiga1992 · 11 October 2002, 18:52

Or paint each one by hand too... Still masking of course. I think I'll try that with a spare C64 I have...

BippyM · 11 October 2002, 19:08

Or spray the keys and then get some alphabet stickers and put them on the keys

MOS-6581 · 11 October 2002, 19:36

@ shatterhand: It's a Chinese newspaper.

I've also sprayed a breadbox C64... I'm going to steal the white keyboard off one of my C64C's for this one. (btw it looks silver, but it's a blue/silver colour)

Amiga1992 · 12 October 2002, 05:07

Hey SID, how did you take the LED ot of the breadbin? Mine is stuck with some plastic that I have to break if I want to remove the LED. Or at least I think I need to break it!

I want to replace that dull LED with a high-brilliance blue LED or something like that

MOS-6581 · 14 October 2002, 00:28

What like this u mean?

I finished my C64, as you can see... It's got a new motherboard inside too.
It's pretty difficult to remove the LED, I'm not sure how I did it! I'm gonna post this pic over to lemon as well, They'll either love it or hate it!

jmmijo · 14 October 2002, 00:44

Looking good there MOS, looking good

Amiga1992 · 15 October 2002, 01:14

YEAH! You ideas-robber!

If you remember how you took the bleeming LED off, please let me know!!!

The commie looks great

ElectroBlaster · 09 November 2002, 17:44

Wow! that is good spraying sah

I modded an a1200 back along! i took a busted black cdtv keyboard and took the keytops off! then i swapped the yellowed keys off the a1200's keyboard with the black ones!
some black spray paint on the 1200's case finished the look

*i havent got any pics sorry

it was done when digicams were far too expensive and i didnt own one!

do you mind me posting your pics on a pc hardware forum? their case modding section would love to see your work! that blue led on the c64 is spot on

ElectroBlaster · 09 November 2002, 20:55

also! get that a500 posted up when you have finished it
