I think this one looks pretty hot? Love the classic logo on it.

The quality of the paint job on this console looks terribly blotchy and uneven; it looks absolutely terrible, IMO.

Some of y'all honestly do like some tacky stuff, lol.

White wasn't my first choice either, but RIP that looks rough. At least it can still play the same games.

I think the PS2 is also very dark blue? The game cases definitely are, if not the console itself. And the original Xbox is very dark green (source: sunbeam through my bedroom window as a teen).

when orange light hits black thing it turns blue...they are opposites on the color wheel.

Sony: pays product design team hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to design the PS5
Presumable teenager: "I'm gonna paint it with some random spray paint that my dad has in the back corner of the garage!"

Lighting is way overblown in OP's pic. Probably partially causing all the different color interpretations.

Also maybe just needs a couple more coats of paint? Many light coats > less thick coats.

ERA, some time later: "Wow! Look at this amazing custom paint job! DAE think the original design SUCKS?"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On topic: I think the paint job on OP's console looks well done, I'm guessing OP's desire was to flex on his painted console. Neat. i personally prefer the original colors and design of the PS5 -- I have a DE sitting in my entertainment center that I actually think looks quite nice, for all the vitriol it gets here.

Pure black plastic always looks so cheap to me… you need some subtle blue tint to it and not pure dark black for it to start looking good (hence why the non-painted "black" part isn't pure black).

Yeah, OP's paint job is pretty decent. The other one in this thread, though--yikes.

0 bit of flex intended. If I hadn't seen it in the sun, looking blue I never would have made a post.

plus, this is a fun thread so far.

Eh, the person painting it just had a poor eye for color matching + it's creating that illusion. Should have gone with a deeper gray, pure black / white aren't used as often in design.

Damn, that looks ugly OP.

I think the white PS looks great, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Person paints console when they clearly don't know what the fuck they're doing
- Person takes pic of the console in the most unflattering angle possible

Result is in the OP.

Blue, black, who cares, this looks like crap.
