I Painted My PS5 Matte Black & It Went Horribly Wrong!

[@SufyanMussood]

Had a ton of fun making this video and whilst it's true, the actual painting didn't turn out great, it led me to partner up with @AltCases and I'll have a review of that case up next week.

[@ericdoss1293]

you can bring this back to the original layer with sandpaper and then repaint it. you would never be able to tell the difference other than it being smoother, but make sure the last grit that you use is a high one.

[@SufyanMussood]

@@ericdoss1293 appreciate the advice. I've already switched over to matte black plates. They look awesome. Did a video on it.

[@ericdoss1293]

@@SufyanMussood yeah I seen it, I was just saying if you wanted to save the originals

[@SufyanMussood]

@@ericdoss1293 ahh much appreciated. I still have them somewhere, will definitely give it a try and let you know how they turned out.

[@ericdoss1293]

@@SufyanMussood that would be great!

[@HungLikeScrat]

I would highly recommend painting your PS5 instead of buying the overpriced plates. First you need to scuff the surface so primer will adhere better, then prime and paint with Krylon Fusion, then seal it with a clear coat. Paint indoors with proper ventilation and warm up the can of paint in a bucket of warm water prior to using.

[@user-zd8vg1nl5g]

Or just use plasti dip and not have to worry about that excessive prep shit

[@BurtGummerrr]

Ya, his video is just a lame attempt to sell alt cases or whoever he said he's partnered with. Anyone who is dumb enough to "clean" wet paint is a moron.

[@michaelmagliotti6233]

If you spray too much it will mess up. The key is several light coats and it will come out flawless.

[@JonnyChaos]

Should use MTN 94 from your local friendly graffiti stockists and a grey soft cap. Low pressure paint, matt finish and the grey soft cap is designed for fading one colour into another so it's more of a mist than a concentrated point of where the paint goes.

[@sinetwo]

Yep!

[@tomassoejakto]

As an illustrator and a model kit builder who also plays video games, watching this video breaks my heart. Rest in peace, cover plates. Rest in peace.

[@Actroids]

If u really wanna black ps5, juz ordering a dbrand darkplates as i do.. So i could keep my white plates w/out ruin it.. When u cannot take back what u have done to ur ps5 plates, its a regretable, shame, disrespect ur ps5, & a devastating disturbing look of ur ps5.. Damn it, man..

[@SufyanMussood]

I appreciate the advice mate but if you watch my latest videos, you'll see that I got a set of high quality black faceplates from a company here in the UK. Plus, you can easily pick up the official white plates for around £30 so I wasn't as fussed. Was a learning experience.

[@Actroids]

@@SufyanMussood i mean, if u really wanna do somethin' alike, paint it or some kind of art expression, buy a cheap one & hell-yeah..

[@SufyanMussood]

@@Actroids To each his own mate. I wanted to try spray painting. It's not the end of the world for me that the plates came out wrong considering how many alternatives we have.

What paint,darkplates and bullshit...my friend you shit painted the plates...did you expect to make it cool with a normal shit spray

[@cybertechspecialist6441]

The 'Matte Black PS5' is giving me batman vibes 👌🏾

[@SufyanMussood]

Yep it suits the Batcave (my Studio)

[@keaton7667]

Always research before spray painting it is not as easy as you think it is. Also, that's not an overspray, it's just you over spraying in one spot too long. overspray is paint particles that fly everywhere and stick. I've made all these same mistakes and one major thing I learned is you got to have patients when it comes to spraying multiple coats and clear coating, It is key for best results, rush it and that happens.

[@SufyanMussood]

Yeah I appreciate the advice mate. I wasn't really too concerned either if I did mess it up. I already had DBrand plates on back order and fortunately I picked up matte black plates from a company here in the UK and it looks awesome. Never going to attempt spray painting again.

[@shanemeyer1567]

He's not a Dr office seeing "patients" you cunt.

[@spleen1108]

Omg lmao when you wiped it down, that was a yikes

[@kwisclubta7175]

I can understand a noob making that mistake... ONCE! But doing it a second time expecting a different result??? LMAO WTF is wrong with this guy?

[@SufyanMussood]

@@kwisclubta7175 Hey dickhead, not everyone a pro there second time around and you clearly missed the purpose, it was about having fun. Take a look at my latest video and you'll see how good an all black ps5 can look.

[@kwisclubta7175]

@@SufyanMussood You don't need to be a "pro" to realize you shouldn't do the same thing that fucked up your paint job once already lol WTF Not sure where you heard me say anything knocking all-black PS5's, though. I just ordered one this morning and plan to black it out myself so who the hell are you talking to? It'll look a hell of a lot better than yours, I guarantee. One thing's for damn sure, you can bet I won't be wiping it down while it's wet 🤣 I might have done that the very first time I ever spray painted something but once was enough for me to learn not to do it again.

[@SufyanMussood]

@@kwisclubta7175 Like I said, I'm sure you're a pro the second time around. And like I said, my all matte black PS5 looks awesome. You should see the next video. Anyways have a good time being a shithead. Appreciate the view

[@BurtGummerrr]

He's an idiot just trying to sell cases. "Cleaning" wet paint with a rag was a new level of retardation for me.

[@Squishmallows24]

Not a ps5 but I just finished painting the top cover of a vintage cd player from 94. Took me 3 tries to get it right. First try it stayed blotchy. Second time it stayed even but rough. On my third tried I had learned from my mistakes and I got a smooth, matte even finish. I’m very happy with it. You just have to make sure to do sand it, use primer and do even base coats and most importantly let the paint dry before a second or 3rd coat of your base and clear coat.

[@ahsanbaig3921]

Great video, don't see many like these - good job you didn't spray your car xD, keep em coming

[@SufyanMussood]

Not a bad idea for the next video ^^^ 😅

[@nickfigueroa6248]

Gonna do this ! I need a Matt black ps5 to mirror my series X. So would you recommend the paint you used or not?

[@SufyanMussood]

I think the Rust Oleum Matte Black paint is fine for the job but be sure to follow my guidelines. Avoid outdoors. Practice spray painting. Tweet me your final results, id be interested in knowing how things turn out.

[@kwisclubta7175]

I'd recommend using automotive trim paint by reputable brands like Rust-Oleum or SEM.

[@misssecretpearl]

We live and learn 🤣 Btw where’s my credit for my epic spray painting...

[@SufyanMussood]

Sorry, I took all the credit!

[@chrisb3976]

lol did you really tell people to paint indoors and not mention that they should have ventilation? And why would you clean the paint like you did? Swiping down on the surface when the paint is still wet? Something tells me youve never painted anything in your life. Get experienced with painting and then make a video giving people correct information.

[@sinetwo]

You really need to dust with spray paint, spraying from a distance making a light coat. Too close and you'll get splatters and thick layers that drip and don't adhere

[@UncleDmo]

Lol thank you for making this video man, I really thought this was going to be simple. Appreciate it!

[@VXRHSV]

There's a technique in spraying paint. If you know what you're doing and you have a dust free environment it would be fine. I think he put way to much on when he did the first coat. The amount of dust that would of went on it hanging it on a washing line ruined it. Even on a nice warm day theres dust. It's like spraying a car you go to a body shop otherwise it will look terrible. It's probably easier just to spend the money on replacement plates to save a lot of arsing about...

[@bens3767]

Wouldn't take much to sand it down and start over. Depending how bad dust and particles got on it. That's key when your painting too. Sand in between coats!

[@krishbarot857]

1. Spray from a distance. 2. Spray atleast 4-5 coats or layers. 3. let each coat dry for upto 20 mins. 4. After the last Coat leave it for 6-8 hours to dry up.

[@gazm7265]

I spraypainted my plates matte black exactly the same way as you, hung up in my back garden on the washing line but i did about 10 light coats until it was all covered and even and they came out flawless and look amazing, i just need to buy a black controller now it doesnt look right black console with white controller haha

[@Thecodeinist]

Hows the paint holding up ?

[@KyleTO7]

To make it really cool you should get some silver or white liquid paint and splatter it all over it (like really tiny splatter dots) they would give it a really nice effect you could even tape off part of it so it doesn't get any paint there.

[@djsmileyoflasvegas]

I bought sum 30 dollar black plates and it looks good now I really want to go to my homies lowrider shop and paint my white plates with primer then blue with gold flakes then clear but i wonder if that will make ps5 not dissipate heat

[@RisingPhoenix619]

Lol grab the kupra! 😂

[@SufyanMussood]

LOLLLLL

[@kwisclubta7175]

4:35 I don't think "overspray" means what you think it means.

[@JO9OH4Tech]

I may do mine but I’m just gonna plastidip it if I do so I can just take it off if I want.

[@SufyanMussood]

A ton of people have recommended plastdip moving forward. I'll definitely look into that.

[@kaptajnsejersen6303]

Can't you just use a primer those for painting minis

[@Triggerhappy825]

I brought knock off plates from off ebay. Looks sick fit really well.

[@SufyanMussood]

Yeah some people have had luck with CMP shells from Ebay. I personally went with AltCases

[@kwisclubta7175]

You brought them? Where did you bring them to?

The thing is some people like me want the playstation colored logo with mat black looks beautiful he yes have to lorn how to paint that’s it and he doesn’t sand it and nothing lol 😂😂😂

Atleast u admitted ur mistakes so others know what not to do.

[@MariusMerchiers]

I you use plasti dip you can just peel it off and try again

[@Hashshandycoot]

I'm a bit late to the party but great video. It has put me off trying to paint my PS5 (When I finally get one) but I would look at buying ready made custom plates now. Thanks for the great videos!

[@SufyanMussood]

Thanks man. Yeah definitely wouldn't recommend painting it tbh. What colour were you thinking. The plates from Alt Cases are fantastic.

[@Hashshandycoot]

@@SufyanMussood I'd go for black, fits in with everything else I have. Really thought Sony would have brought different colours out by now or at least there own plates. I think there would be a market for it.

[@SufyanMussood]

@@Hashshandycoot Yeah very true. I was hoping for a black controller tbh but looks like I'm going to have to order something custom from the guys over at Coloware. If you don't mind me asking, are you UK based? I was sent a spare set of darkplates from Alt Cases. Thinking of doing a give-away if people are interested.

[@dannysoul0]

Yeah I just got Dbrand plates

[@MaciejSkywalker]

You should use plasti dip. You could remove it anytime

[@awvince]

All the problems with this are down to your lack of experience painting. Nothing to do with the process or the ability of the covers to be painted. One could still flat down the paint and reapply.

[@mohammediswk5687]

I like your videos❤😊

[@patrickwillis13]

Probably sand it and go for another LIGHT coat

[@TheTojocat]

u didnt prep the surface at all, held the rattle can way to close and sprayed it on way too thick. Your mess could have been sanded down to fix it. im still giggling and shaking my head when u try to wipe it with a cloth . oh well, thats how we learn, although there is alot of youtube how to vids to learn.

Lots of light coats take your time. Build up the finish.

Gonna watch till end but first thought on "I spent a lot of money on this video". Isn't paint like $4.95?

[@Friendlyhelpers]

I've painted a few things and also made mistakes at first. I did two sets of rims in gloss black. Second set was much nicer. Also did my pc speakers to match my gaming setup which is black like yours. I think its worth it but yes, it helps to practice and learn if you want a better result. Maybe practice on something you don't care to mess up. Also watching tip videos like this one.

[@SufyanMussood]

It's true the paint didn't cost much but I did end up having to fork out £40 for a new set of plates.

I swear I don’t understand the fascination with the boring pure black colored console look/aesthetic. I mean throw some vibrant colors in there like gold, red, blue, something. I swear whenever a console or a controller comes out. Everyone cries about there not being a black colored option. Like shit how many black colored consoles/controllers have we had in the past?
