This guy painted his trim with tamiya and it looks pretty good.

i painted my trim with a nicer black than that picture. that picture looks like a matte black maybe enamel. if you simply want it like that then just get spray paint from orchard supply or something. as for mines i used Tamiya modeling paint (metallic black). it turned out like this.

first of all you're not going to want to paint your trim while leaving it on the faceplate. you're going to want to open up your psp till the face plate is off and simply slide the trim off the back plate. then just follow through with how they say to spray paint here and it will turn out cleann.. if you mess up just sand it off and start over. i would recommend primary paint before you paint with the tamiya. then a clear coat.

im not too sure about that. it looks nice but i cant really see it. and krylon fusion is made for plastics so yea. idk

real life and pics are usually different, ive painted trim and taken a picture and it looks great but in real life was terrible.

tmandt · « **Reply #6 on:** June 12, 2008, 01:21:03 AM »

yea thats why i said i need like a proffesional pic of the trim

ApheX · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:01:46 AM »

It would be nice if someone like coolmods would sell coloured trims rather than having to do it yourself. i reckon they would sell quite a lot.

VoX · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2008, 03:45:44 AM »

Good idea, I might sell some if I can get some painted. I'll give a J.s2ghetto a shout

I have used that Krylon Fusion after I lightly hand sanded each piece by hand, then primed all pieces, then lightly sanded again and then applied the fusion paint. It looked great for about a week now it looks like crap. Here I'll post a picture of it like 2 days after I painted it.

In the end I would not recommend Krylon Fusion

tmandt · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:07:40 AM »

nico did you put clear coat on so it doesnt look like crap?

l0rdnic0 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:50:45 AM »

Nah to lazy for that I guess, but it would have lasted longer. I don't know how much longer, but hey would have been better I bet. I don't use that slim very much any more but for the longest time it was my wip. Now I'm using a slim with a Clear Case from Coolmods, and I have to say I love that case!!!! Wait till you guys see what I'm doing to it. Ok sorry for the plug, I get excited.... Anyway I think Black trim would look nice on the Clear Case what do you guys think?

tmandt · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2008, 11:00:45 AM »

thats what im aiming for nico. cant wait for my psp from ken

anthonyta · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:03:55 PM »

tamiya paints are specifically made for plastics too.. no other reason why they call it modeling paint. after that all you need is clear gloss and you're set. why you have to make things so complicating =]

tmandt · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:21:36 PM »

lol i know i have to use clear coat once i finish painting the trim. i just never used tamiya before thats why i ask

alexandercyle · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:48:49 PM »

i paint a lot and in my opinion if your not mixing your paint like automotive paint your going to get he same results with the can it doesnt harden very well and between the two choices presented here i would say krylon fusion as it would be made for a more durable finish but just enough to get the desired color then sand then clear it now i would use as much clear as possible without messing up the edges as the surface tension of paint thins on the edges as it dries sometimes leaving it almost not painted looking and you need to let each coat of paint dry thoroughly for the best, longest lasting finish .....thoroughly....thats a big part inpatient people dont do and it looks like crap

anthonyta · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2008, 02:59:35 PM »

tamiya paints work with any other kinds of paint. says on the can and i havn't had any trouble with it. no lumps, nice and smooth. not only that you dont even have to sand dude. i go straight to primer and have never had a problem. i even tried scratching it super hard with my finger nail. didn't leave a mark =] well i gues it might be my glassy gloss

tmandt · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2008, 03:25:37 PM »

well ima do about 2 coats of black and 2 or 3 of clear. probally take a day or two but its worth it

MattZani · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2008, 07:07:50 AM »

a Day or 2? More Like a week! Lol

iam7805 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2008, 11:48:10 AM »

Black trim on the clear case looks great. I painted mine with automotive paint using an airbrush and it came out really well. I also used a plastic adhesion promoter first and a special solvent to clean it.

tmandt · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2008, 12:17:23 PM »

lol ill try to post up some pics it just been rainy thats why i cant paint

VoX · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2008, 06:05:56 PM »

If it been raining I'd wait a day or two, the cold weather can last for a while and effect your paint

It's looks Fine to me. Nice job! So dose this mean your finished modding your slim?

psp339 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2008, 06:35:52 PM »

Did you sand it before painting and did you use primer?

tmandt · « **Reply #25 on:** June 14, 2008, 07:04:01 PM »

nope actually i dont have a slim. im gonna do it to my phat. and im painting my secret mod trim black. see once im done with my secret mod im auctioning it for benifits. so yea. oh and i didnt sand or prim i just sprayed like wat teh can said to do. krylon = no sanding or priming.

anthonyta · « **Reply #26 on:** June 14, 2008, 11:57:57 PM »

yea.. you're not going to need to sand. with krylon fusion you dont need to prime either. and.. the reason why it scratches easy is because its not completely dry, or you've put way to many layers. and i can see its a little bumpy you might wanna try spraying a little farther back with some smooth even like strokes. and completely pass the object you're painting. its also better you do it indoors. good luck!

tmandt · « **Reply #27 on:** June 15, 2008, 02:00:07 AM »

yea i sprayed like 3 coats. well ima just paint 2 coats this time and farther away

anthonyta · « **Reply #28 on:** June 15, 2008, 10:28:41 AM »

you can do 3 coats i actually do 4. just give it more time to dry. thats why i think using a matte black then clear gloss is better than krylon fusion. its much smoother from the start.

tmandt · « **Reply #29 on:** June 15, 2008, 01:00:05 PM »

yea i only allowed like 15 mins between each coat

dedafmonteur · « **Reply #30 on:** June 15, 2008, 01:45:31 PM »

get: clea case with a chrome trime

tmandt · « **Reply #31 on:** June 15, 2008, 01:47:27 PM »

omg i hate chrome psp stuff. its not even funny. the only thing i like chrome is when its on rims thats it

ApheX · « **Reply #32 on:** June 15, 2008, 03:37:14 PM »

so agree. had the chrome faceplate for the phat, after a few weeks i hated it. it's all about the blue/black and clear/red for me.

tmandt · « **Reply #33 on:** June 15, 2008, 04:10:40 PM »

black/red, red/white, clear/red, and black/clear
