Painted my old 3DS!
Hello!
I recently painted my 3DS’s shell, and figured it was worth a post!
It was originally a 2013, Year of Luigi 3DS XL. It was unfortunately very scratched up due to, well, the fact that I actually used it; but I felt terrible painting over a limited edition.
Instead, someone gave me a broken 3DS XL from which I was able to grab the shell and repaint it instead! So I now have my original Luigi shell as well as this one which I painted. (:
I used acrylic, specifically Army Painter Warpaints (many thanks to my wonderful boyfriend!), and sealed it with a sealant showed in my older post. It went pretty well; I will admit that getting a nice, clean coat of black was a challenge due to the case originally being blue.
We’ll see how it wears and tears!
