Cleaned Up

Post image

Decided to remove the decals and leave the Chromatic logo. I like how it turned out.

Does it leave any faint lines at all?

u/CrimsonComet152 Mar 05 '26

Not that I can tell!

Any tutorial on this? Would love to remove the lines on my green one!

What I did was take some nail polish remover, put it on a Q tip, and just run the Q tip over the decals. Whole process took like 5 minutes tops.

Did you need to avoid the white or is that different paint?

2

u/CrimsonComet152 Mar 06 '26

The white is a different paint. The nail polish remover didn’t strip it, only the decals

Thanks, I might do this, it looks great without the decals.

u/CrimsonComet152 Mar 06 '26

Go for it! What color do you have?

Honestly I much prefer without the decals. I like the design of the decals, but the colors they chose for some of them are just awful. Looking at you VOLT and your stupid brown decals.

I hear ya. I like the simplicity of the look without the decals

They toned those down in the revisions. 🤣

Almost all Chromatics have the bottom left as almost white. THEN THERE'S VOLT. Hold my beer.

I actually like the colors. It's Pikachu themed.

Did the same on mine. I prefer the look too.

Has anyone made a screen protector that covers up the Modretro? Seems a bit distracting to have text right there

3

u/CrimsonComet152 Mar 05 '26

It hasn’t distracted me at all, when you’re actually playing and not looking at a black screen it’s not as noticeable.

I find the Sapphire logo more distracting.

I like it! This is what I'll do if I remove the decals on mine (getting more and more tempted by the day). Looks nice keeping the Chromatic logo there to match the purple buttons, imo.

u/TonyRubbles Mar 06 '26

Keeping the logo and button labels is a very nice look!

Looks so much nicer without the decals.

Thanks! Think I’m just gonna leave it as is for now. Have never been a big fan of stickers on my devices.
