My 1st Custom "TMNT" NES
I found an old NES at a flea market for $10. It had all the cords but no controllers. I powered it on with Mario 3 that came with it, and it worked first time. It looked like something was spilled all over it.
 I always wanted to take a shot at customizing a system, but could never afford to mess something up. I took it all apart, and sanded it with a low grit. I wanted it to have a texture. taped off certain parts and the green went on...  Yuck! That looks like crap! lol... I agree... Lets put on another coat of green and add some yellow...  Thats better. With all these drying times I read how to replace the red power led. I am putting in a green one as soon as it gets here. Here it is waiting for the new green led and clearkote.

That is actually pretty cool, some logos of some sort might spruce it up.

Pop a ninja turtles sticker on that badboy & its ready to go! No really though that looks great. I bet you could fetch some decent cash if you were to put it on ebay.

Thanks guys. I agree that it needs a couple final touches. I didnt want to mess it up by hand writing on it or something. I am looking for some TMNT related stickers. I sanded away the nintendo logo that was on the door and the word power/reset on the buttons. We'll see, I may just start over as I have learned a few things this time around. I want to make a shell shaped viewing window on the top so you can see the cartridge when it is inside the nes.

That is awsome. I would have never thought about customizing a game system.

The color scheme looks pretty cool. Some other ideas you might consider for sprucing it up:
Some bead sprite art--lots of people are doing it these days Mini figures--glue some TMNT mini figures to the top in a battle scene
