so after some feedback from the last thread i gave it another go and went with Matte instead of the gloss.

i can always go back and fourth between any color as of now and have an extra pair of plates just in case of warranty issues.

and excuse the fingerprints.

no you cant have the pumpkin

 

[jonnyp]

Looks a lot better than the glossy one

 

[Dr Bass]

Where did you get the extra plates?

 

[iconmaster]

I’m one of those who likes the gloss, but this looks good too. You do you. Nice work!

 

[Imtjnotu]

[Birdo]

Looks much better than the gloss version

 

[GHG]

This.

Also Imtjnotu what was your methodology for painting the plates and what products did you use?

 

[THE DUCK]

Its like wrapping an ugly baby in a different blanket. That said, i think the digital one looks far better than the disc version, and both look like d-link designed routers. I actually don't mind how my digital one looks in white horizontal.

 

[Insane Metal]

Now this I like.

 

[Truespeed]

Matte works better. Good job.

 

[timmyp53]

OP redeemed

 

[HTK]

Looks good, can you do my plates?

 

[FrankWza]

I liked the glossy one. I like this better.
Edit:
how about some horizontal shots dude?

Still looks good dude.

This.

i wanted something different than the white. i have a couple decals coming in to finish the thing off but i have to wait a few days before they get here.

used a devil bliss 4flg-670 as the paint gun and some extra paint i had from sherman.

 

[pixelation]

Switch it on dude, I wanna see how the blue light reflects on it!

 

[Red-Town]

that looks a lot better, will have to do the same once I get one lol so it matches my gaming PC

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Matte looks way better, very nice.

 

[Patrick S.]

Me gusta.

 

[noise36]

matt is better than gloss, if only you could get rid of the gloss in the middle.

[DeepEnigma]

Next one do chrome or chameleon.

 

[Iced Arcade]

very nice... too bad you couldn't easily paint over the glossy part of the console. then again it might look too plain.

Gloss almost always looks cheesy, this matte black looks much better. The matte hides the inevitable orange peel as well.

trust me with the gloss in the center and inside of the plates it reflects the led's alot better

 

[Krappadizzle]

Looks good. Way better than before.

 

[MrS]

Not a fan of that all black look tbh. Factory model is way better.

 

[Kagero]

I personally love the white, but this is a top notch job man.

 

[Eternal21]

Sony fucked up big time. We got matte white, and glossy black, when it should be the opposite (or ideally everything should be matte black). Anyone that likes stock PS5 look has shitty taste.

 

[M1chl]

That's boss as fuck.

 

[Warnen]

The way it should have been, why the fuck did they go white.

 

[Synless]

Sony did good with the white contrast. it just looks blah in all black. That said, matte black was the better choice made for your system.

 

[Dr Bass]

The way it should have been, why the fuck did they go white.

Because it looks good in white.

 

[skneogaf]

Why do people think painting the removable plates will void the warranty?

Surely a warranty void sticker would be somewhere on the actual main unit?

 

[Warnen]

Because it looks good in white.

Did you type that with a braille keyboard?

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

The way it should have been, why the fuck did they go white.

Because once you go white, you never go... Oh, wait, that's not right. Nvm.

 

[Grinchy]

That's a lot better than before, but I still prefer the white by a large margin.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[TheKratos]

Now this I like but still WTF son..

might might go back to original. we shall see. hoping someone comes out with some 3d prints of these so i can try more things

I wanna try like a baby blue. Maybe even some kind of wave pattern, maybe like the ps3 OS thing, where it baby blue and white.

 

[HF2014]

Now i like it! . Very cool!

 

[Thabass]

Now we're good. Looks fantastic.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

Looks amazing and professional. I don't know anything about painting, so I have a question: how can you easily switch between glossy and matte without degrading the material or layering too much paint? Do you submerge the plates in a chemical of some sort to remove old paint before you apply new paint? Does this process degrade the plates over time?

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Now we're talkin'

 

[user friendly]

Looks pretty good. Need a full side shot, it’s best angle.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Thanks man appreciate the positivity

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

This is the PS5 we should've gotten.

 

[freefornow]

Looks really good. Only trouble is that the gloss middle looks out of place.
Needs full phat matte.
