I only did the top shell though as I'm no DIY expert and wouldn't have a clue how to put the damn thing back together if I started messing around with the bottom shell and all the parts.<br /><br />I did have a little think about getting a Dreamcast skin, but I have heard negative things about them and for the cost alone to import them from America is not worth the risk. You would have thought someone would do a very limited release of new Dreamcast shells with disk accessibility....One day, perhaps.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-60905767144688432542019-01-05T14:24:12.742+00:002019-01-05T14:24:12.742+00:00Has the Dreamcast gone yellow over the last 4 year...Has the Dreamcast gone yellow over the last 4 years since this article was originally published?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863240068172701740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-76913432576661642622018-04-17T08:12:31.558+00:002018-04-17T08:12:31.558+00:00Rob, the "Volume 40" does not mean 40% p...Rob, the "Volume 40" does not mean 40% peroxide, it's more between 9% and 12%.<br /><br />What I am wondering is how that Dreamcast looks like today, specifically whether the yellowing came back or not.TheDutchOwnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061739110853548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-985198594951298492018-03-03T11:55:36.393+00:002018-03-03T11:55:36.393+00:00Just had a look at this product, it has changed fr...Just had a look at this product, it has changed from 40%vol to 9% peroxide, do you think this mix will still work?<br /><br />Cheers<br />RobAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497811565112076058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-8209370809373366562016-12-31T12:32:49.567+00:002016-12-31T12:32:49.567+00:00No Sam, it doesn't affect those logos at all.No Sam, it doesn't affect those logos at all.

I got the logo stickers off just using a sharp knife on a corner and carefully prising off. The glue on the back retains it's adhesive so you can just place them back on after you've whitened them, and they stick back down easily enough. As a side note, all of the consoles I whitened are still perfectly white and haven't gone back yellow as some people have suggested they would.Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-5936056863832035992015-07-22T06:22:11.407+00:002015-07-22T06:22:11.407+00:00Comment section has a delay, sorry for so many pos...Comment section has a delay, sorry for so many posts.<br /><br />How did you get the logo sticker off without marring it, if I may ask?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342143301559203607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-74863849533694269962015-07-22T03:22:58.243+00:002015-07-22T03:22:58.243+00:00Thanks so much for this, i have lost all my white ...Thanks so much for this, i have lost all my white dreamcasts to disrepair or theft and only have the black one I bought recently but this is awesome knowledge to have for the future!<br /><br />Cobra, you probably just need uv light to activate it, you can get a uv lamp off of ebay for fairly cheap I am sure :) They use them for nails in salons and for glueing digitizers (the front glass that everyone break, not the screen) on smart phones. They are used for tons of stuff so i am confident you can find one.<br /><br />Alternatively if you have a friend that works at a salon, you could likely just go there with a paint brush after hours. You buy them a few drinks, and sit in a massage chair, while getting a foot bath, and shooting the shit with a friend while you get your Dreamcast bleached :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342143301559203607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-7499311131452772812015-07-22T03:15:29.471+00:002015-07-22T03:15:29.471+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342143301559203607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-90288339371385612652015-05-26T23:42:59.559+00:002015-05-26T23:42:59.559+00:00I would LOVE to do something like this, but sadly,...I would LOVE to do something like this, but sadly, in Scotland, we get like 1 sunny day every year, so I won't be able to...Cobra!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17511899973753099264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-71018430651502953782015-05-26T21:24:32.489+00:002015-05-26T21:24:32.489+00:00Nice one Tom, will be doing that this weekend! ��Nice one Tom, will be doing that this weekend! ��Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736840483940085709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-28507671229373913322015-05-26T19:08:03.613+00:002015-05-26T19:08:03.613+00:00Thanks for reading!
