+karri Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I find playing Alpine Games more enjoyable on a snow-colored Lynx. I wonder how rare these were? -- Karri 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 How are you going to play AG, when the Lynx is "empty"? C'mon guys. I have to let it dry before I insert the boards again. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Had me excited for a minute there. How are you going to keep the paint from rubbing off on your hands? Are you going to clear-coat it with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 I was just bored when I came home from work and bought a white spray can. The mod took about 30 mins. I think it is quite cool and you can spray the entire part without a need to protect anything. -- Karri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It looks really nice, kind of like a Lynx XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think it looks cool, has an 80's look to it also which is appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nice. What kind of paint did you use? Also, I've found that the fusion paint I used needs to dry for like 2 weeks without being handled or it will come off. (my XL didn't have hte problem... but the controller did.... I'll have to fix it and let it sit for a few weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to fix it and let it sit for a few weeks) I found the paint spray at my local grocery store yesterday. It is matt white spray called Maston 221 manufactured in Veikkola in Finland. It cost 3 euros. You can spray the second layer within 15 minutes or after 7 days. I have no previous experience about this paint. The only thing mentioned on the bottle is that it is friendly to the ozone layer. -- Karri (still desperately Googleing for that Indian tribe worshipping white Lynxes...)

Atari5200 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 there's some plastisol I think paint that you can use. A bunch of people use it to paint their GP32's and it bonds to the plastic unlike regular spray paint that looks fine at first but wears out over time and the oils of the skin can also damage.

lynxmatt1980 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 looks pretty good. you should buy some defective units and experiment with different colors. red/blue/green/silver, etc. then post what results you get. then if you get a good one, you could sell the shell to somebody on here.

Thanks. I got a few extra shells and it is fun to play with them. The white Lynx is not the final design. My idea was to create the Dalmation Lynx and I just needed the white color on the bottom. There will still be black spots. I also intend to cut the display plastic in a certain way and apply a bit white paint there. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavio75 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Great job... looks really cool to me. You should get a Lynx I and paint that as well Edited January 17, 2008 by flavio75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I know that this is one hell of a bump but just wanted to add that I too have a rare white Lynx II I have been experimenting on quite a few consoles including Lynx II's with automotive coatings. After much destruction - melting due to bonding agents and solvents being too strong and also with baking oven temps - my accomplice and I have succeeded! The finish is superb , tough but glossy and has bonded to the shells really well. White was our first experiment and other colours (and pics) will follow soon. I have picked up a number of Lynxes over the years where the outer shell near the battery compartment has become discoloured due to battery leakages but the internals were salvageable and working fine - these will become part of my new coloured line of refurbed consoles! I have also found the process works really well with sun faded playstations and am also attempting it with a megadrive/genesis! All internals including the screen are properly cleaned with isoprope and compressed air and then reassembled - if anyone is interested they will be for sale - but postage from oz isn't that cheap (about $30 US ) and the process is expensive. The units themselves though do look and feel great - so PM me and I'll see what I can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimo Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Krylon fusion is the best paint to use as it actually bonds to the plastic so won't rub off unlike automotive paint that sticks to the plastic but is nowhere near as durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Other colours might look good, but white..? Mmmmm..... The white color is great. This is the Startrooper Lynx. Fits the suit perfectly. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
