This Mega Drive is both mundane and boring. Only interesting thing about it is that you can't see how badly I scrubbed the label off the doner cart, for the Everdrive.

Thanks
Believe me, when i was a this state
I was very sceptic about the final result
Only thing i would add is a Neptune logo just in place where the SEGA were...

i think it's spackle; i did the same thing for an MDF-based arcade joystick and needed to use wood filler (basically spackle for wood) to fill the cracks before all the priming and painting.

I don't know what "spackle" is.
In french, this is "mastic de carrosserie"
It's a very little flexible and generally used to repair little car scratches.

apparently, "mastic de carrosserie" is some type of "body filler" putty in English; "spackle" is similar, but for plaster-based surfaces.

Barrage of questions:
What kind of paint did you use?
Did it require multiple coats?
How long for it to dry?
Did you have to clean it in a special way before applying the paint?
Would it also work with controllers?
It's insane how nice that paint job is. It's crazy good.
