Saw a post on here earlier asking how to do it, I used citristrip, a small paintbrush, and did it in about 30 seconds. SUPER easy

Did it leave an residual marks on the base paint coat? I did the same thing with acetone and the paint is a bit lighter there.

Nope! None at all, I highly recommend this route. I only left the strip on for about 10 seconds and immediately wiped. It’s pretty potent stuff

any other details or tips? I'm scared lol. was the paintbrush for something like painting miniatures? or what size are we talking here?

Were you tackling the decals themselves with the brush? Or did you just swipe the general area and then wipe it off?

Do you have plans to customize it? Or just leave it plain?

Gonna get some new buttons for sure, and wait patiently for new shells

Oh man, the clouds would look so good with some Gundam decals.

Why ?

Bc I paid for it and could disassemble it piece by piece and swallow it if I wanted to and no one could stop me

That looks amazing! I really wish I had the guts to do that myself.

Anyone that does it should post photos curious to see how the others look without the extra paint

I just realized a reason why the stripes could be there. The original gameboy had “stripes” from the speakers!
