This awfully painted PS1 turned out beautiful - Game console customization

Bought this PS1 on eBay. The system was in good working condition but very compromised cosmetically. I saw a potential to transform this game console in one of my best transformation until now. To be honest, I really liked the final result. The paint job turned out amazing. The optical drive door and the buttons inserts made out of plexiglass gave to the console a modern look combined with the color choices. I hope you enjoy the video.

Love the simplicity of the design, sometimes amazing work comes from the basics.

[@studiofr]

Thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@shmapple29]

Imagine leaving your ps1 at a goodwill or something and then years later you see it on this guys channel lol thatd be a mind trip

[@mycustardlove4168]

I hope the person who originally violated the PS is watching this.

[@juniorjavier7184]

Lmao 😂😂😂

[@Allen_basinger]

The paint cleaning was probably the most satisfying part

[@valentine_puppy]

I am a Sega Fan and Saturn will always rule for me. However, that is one hell of a spiffy Paint Job sir. Congratulations.

[@sebastianbolt7886]

You are scary good. Oh please Lord hire this man at Sony for the next Playstation 6.

[@diegoxplague]

Oh, this one turned out so elegant. This has been the restoration I liked the most, great work. I'm looking forward to try something with a PS3 Fat I have. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@studiofr]

Agreed! 👍🏻

[@iRiccardoArpino]

Great video as always! Way to bring back this PS1 to life... 😍 Much ❤️ from Rome, Italy!

You could do one of Ps vita, I love that console. Great video, cheers.

[@adamcunningham9947]

It looks very sleek, the silver goes so well with the black

[@MrChinistico]

Man absolutely beautiful as always, i'm watching this with star in my eyes! Congrats from a brazilian fan ;)

[@studiofr]

Thanks man! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sascusuizers]

Seriously a lovely special restoration.. I have my PS1 & I want a upgrade.

[@ryanfarrell8763]

Once again great work. I just think it would have been really awesome if you could have added and led to the acrylic ps1 logo on the controller. Also adding led's to the power, eject and reset buttons would have been really cool too. It is still really awesome just the way it is.

[@studiofr]

That would be cool 👍🏻

[@antoinedrela794]

Oh Sled Storm! I loved this game with the musics! Rob Zombie - Dragula - was so good!!

[@adeeshabandara9140]

That's one hell of a paint job.Awesome

[@rafaelc7757]

Between all his restorations, this one is the most beatiful. The color scheme, the glass look, the shiny. Beatiful. Awesome. I would buy this one if possible.

[@studiofr]

Thanks! 👍🏻

[@spamaccount6460]

Love it. The black in the bottom piece looked so good that I would have been tempted to do the whole thing in thar color.

[@Scott-M1]

Same. Would have looked like those net yaroze PS ones they used to have

[@DylanAce66]

Wow that looks good! Your work is so awesome.

[@samuelcortez2662]

Yet another masterpiece, nothing less from Studio FR i suppose :)

Outstanding work! Great choice of colours

[@Alina-gz1zp]

I really like this one , craftmanship !

[@leeg4116]

That console looks amazing! I wish I had that laser cutter, I'd love to do something similar, I've now got the idea of the buttons but fill the power led light hole and re route the led to back-light the power switch

[@jalarcon166]

That new look is clean and slick. That what you did is a piece of art work. Great work. 😄👍🎮👾

[@Nimmbin]

Lol. Looks like the original owner just dropped this PS1 into a bucket of paint along with the controller. You did not a wonderful job with this restoration. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@pedrosa00]

Outstanding restoration! I also imagine if I have one of these

[@cloud_slash6484]

Oh my...! This is perfect ! Not too much. So classy...love it

[@studiofr]

Glad you like it!

[@kevin-jt6st]

Thats truly a great way to restore your ps1 very talented you should restore and customize a handheld next it would be awesome to see that

[@daniel-fehr]

Congratulations, very beautiful job and nice color combination.

[@Sbrillo43]

Wonderful! I would have leave the original button logos and sony and ps coloured logos.

[@generalkenobus4269]

I love watching your videos keep it up!I would really like to see you restore PS3 Slim because it was my very first console✌

[@exFAT.]

I wish you could make all of the parts for the custom build. Then you could have your custom build as well restoring the original authentic parts. Great videos though!

[@terrorizer77]

That's an an amazing job

[@BlueGuilGames]

Absolutely SICK!

[@mrhappy8966]

oh man i would send u my computer case to paint with a scheme like that that's awesome now i know what kind of paint job i need to learn how to do lol

I've never seen a laser cuter be used in a console restoration before!

[@studiofr]

This machine is very useful in my customizations 👍🏻

[@teh_supar_hackr]

@@studiofr Cool, to me that makes you unique. Same with the 3D Playstation logo on the controllers! Have you thought of doing a restoration on a GameCube?

Beautiful

That PS1 got the transformation it deserved :D

[@JIM-cx7up]

You are the best 😊👍✌️🙏

[@xongamingstudio]

I love ps2 transformation

[@princegroove]

Perfect, it looks like a GT inspired design. Nice job!

[@myagi20000]

the before design or new? if its the old maybe the previous owner tried to replicate the gold PS1? :P

[@studiofr]

Lol

[@princegroove]

@@myagi20000 Nah, the old design was hideous.

[@dathotbox]

Oh god I have a PS1 I tried painting like 3 years ago still sitting in my garage waiting for me to do this haha. It's gold and silver too so this is so accurate lol

[@studiofr]

Lol 😂

[@dathotbox]

@@studiofr amazing work by the way, looks insane! Quick question with spraying the plastics, what's your experience not using the adhesion promoter? Would a standard primer suffice? Or does that give the best results?

[@studiofr]

Hi, yes I always use it to give me a smooth foundation and to avoid what happened with that gold PS1. I recommend adhesion promoter before painting plastics.

[@dathotbox]

@@studiofr sweet ill definitely grab some and do some test pieces before attempting it again. Thanks heaps

[@4biddeninja]

Good work dude

[@Creepy32]

Very good job! Congrats!!!

Amazing!!!

[@alvarolesteralvaradomazari8543]

Nice job.....excelent design

[@studiofr]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@old_account4630]

A wonderful restoration and customization, I have to say the paint stripping part was really satisfying, but not as much as the outcome. I am guessing whoever painted it previously did not prepare the case for painting, and did not apply any protective layers either.

[@skyavenger4573]

So freaking cool

[@sonnyruffini4155]

Next i eanna see a Nintendo 64 custom, i'm really curious

[@Zencast5]

Whoever originally owned that ps1, I give them points for trying to customize.

[@lpjunior999]

That looks like the paint job I tried on a broken Dreamcast decades ago. I posted a photo on Gamefaqs and it was called "one of the ugliest things I've ever seen" by one poster.

[@unlined_sardine7426]

awesome video u did a good job restoring that ps1 btw can you do a Nintendo Wii in a next video

[@mota7506]

Lovely

You do good work beo

[@mathieugulinski7899]

Très belle 🤩

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Technically the large version was the PSX not the PS1 but a brilliant job nonetheless. That paint job before you started was shocking. My original Playstation still looks like new

[@okami4076]

Looks better than the original model!

[@CrystalizedSun1998x]

PS1, but Modern Customization!

[@Panzerdeath]

Amazing job! Do you do restoration service?

[@eluv2401]

Love it. Was that Sled Storm? One of my favs from PS1.

[@studiofr]

Yes, Sled Storm 👍🏻👍🏻

[@navyhmhudson]

Love these videos! Do you ever paint the controller ports?? Why or why not? I see some customizers skip painting it and I wonder if there's a way to safely paint them.

[@Edman_79]

I don't think it was painted before. The correct term would be gold dipped :D That was one ugly PS. Very nice job! I especially like the glossy black lid.

[@studiofr]

Lol

[@robinkent1148]

What got you into this kind of line work on doing systems like this ? Would you do a video that has less speed for those who can learn in how to do their systems by themselves. Reason is is hard to catch up with the speed that you got . I want to know if you could go slow and explain in how you take apart and clean up the systems. And design them . Because it would help people to understand in how is done .

[@studiofr]

Hi, you have the option to set your video speed to 0.5. Or less. KZbin allow us to do that. 👍🏻

[@antoniooo.k]

Hey!Awesome video

[@joserobertodesouzarobertod538]

GOSTO DEMAIS EM VER UM CONSOLE COMO ESTE SENDO RESTAURADO E VALORIZADO, GOSTO DESTES MODELOS ANTIGOS DE PLAYSTATION ONE, MEUS SEMPRE FAVORITOS.

Holy Macaroni, the ps1 has lots of screws!

Super Nintendo next please 😃

[@ksawisroka1246]

GOOD!

[@chopedandsectioned]

removing somebody else' crappy paint job sucks but you made it look great

[@porkycylinder3501]

That one must have been a hell lot of extra work just getting the old paint off.

[@studiofr]

It was! 😅

[@pyrobully_gaming9970]

Hey Boss love all the Videos, your work is stunning for sure. I have a question, "does the Montana Gold Spray Paint need the adhesion promoter in order to bond to the plastic" or would a oil based primer work as well? And have you ever used Montana Gold Primer?

[@studiofr]

Hi, I have never used Montana Gold Primer. But I recommend you to use some kind of adhesion promoter when painting plastics. Montana Gold Primer is an excellent option for this purpose. A little expensive for my pocket. Thanks for commenting. 👍🏻

[@pyrobully_gaming9970]

@@studiofr Thank you Sir, keep up the great work... I'm a fan and a student for sure

Please kindly tell how much time you give the console and controller parts(plastic) to dry after paint job? Please please reply.

12 hours is enough

Ficou lindo demais 😍 faz um com temática do crash e o play 2 com temática do guitar hero ♥️ ia ficar show 😍♥️

[@jamesbarris8868]

did you just glue the custom made acrylic buttons onto the original ones?

[@nathangamer]

The original owner didn't paint the bottom of the unit at all, but painted the inside of the disc tray.....

Oh Nice !!! Ah SLED STORM was a good game !!!
