Making old things new again
What do you do when a console reaches the end of its lifespan and is replaced by newer, more powerful systems? You give it a fresh lick of paint, of course.
That's exactly what Zoki64 has done. This talented artist has taken custom paint jobs to the next level, transforming N64, Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance consoles into highly desirable collector's items.
You can check out some examples below. Not wanting to tempt you, but Zoki64 is happy to work on commission.

Wow, just amazing! Wish some of those controllers were Classic controllers!......lol they are classic!
I saw a pretty awesome DS Lite once. It was carved with the Layton logo and the Professor himself with gold paint in the carvings. Because it was black it looked brilliant.
Those look awesome... Maybe I'll get a commission one day.
That NES and Majora's mask N64 are stunningly beautiful!
Damn I want that SNES!

These are beautiful.
I want zelda 64 soooo baaaaaad !!!!
amazing!!
Wow, I wonder how he does this yet maintain the consoles and moreso the controller functionality
These are so damn Amazing
the mario 64 controller looks like sonic on the bottom. i sense an invader...
salutes in respect
And to think I thought stickers were awesome...
That N64 is a beaut.
Those are pretty awesome, and look much better than many of the limited edition consoles I've seen. Kudos to Zoki64 for making bright orange actually look good.
Just realised what my next airbrush project is
I would ask him to do a SMB3 themed Nes. Those designs are glossy, but nice. very so. He did great work on those shown.
awsome
Cool stuff! But it is console abuse!
Mario console!! If you can buy these consoles I am saving up my money to buy that Mario console. BTW, just an idea, but maybe Zoki64 should make a Legend of Zelda console, or a Sonic one!
I want a Mario themed SNES
