    As much as I've always disliked the American snes that pearl white one is a thing of beauty. What an excellent paint job and finish. Where would one get those replacement stickers/decals for the console and pads that give it the proper look?

        Keep us updated please. I know that his graphic work like the Mario and crew decal on top of the snes is done using a technique called "Water Slide" that uses a regular inkjet printer but its the original logos/power button writing that gets my attention as it looks factory, almost like he has spray painted over it without obscuring it, which would be impossible due to the primer. Unless he masks off the logos, spray paints the primer, removes the mask and then paints lightly over the top before applying the gloss coat but that seems like way too much work.

          Re paint. Younshould be able to use any acrylic paint if you use an etch primer first. Graphics can be made up if you have an image file. A few folks i know have had great success with custom graphics made to measure by a chap who trades as pitty's custom graphics. As he can make them motor grade you could also laquer over them if you want a smooth silk finsh.
