Given how quickly Konami's limited-edition Gunmetal Grey PS3 bundle ran out during its Japan run, it's not hard to imagine a similar scenario happening for the international launch. Now, if you're keen on getting one for yourself but have neither the money or the initiative, you might want to try dieselstation's solution: make one.
The PlayStation forums member announced the successful repaint of a PlayStation 3 in same colors as the units coming with Metal Gear Solid 4. What makes this all the more interesting is that it didn't require too many tools to pull this off - dieselstation notes using Tamiya Gunmetal TS-38 for its primary colors, with Testors Dullcote 1260 as a final coat. We've posted a couple of images of dieselstation's work here for your ogling pleasure - you can find more images over at the U.S. PlayStation forums, via the source link below. We're not sure if the modder's willing to be commissioned for similar projects, but that'd admittedly be awesome. Drop by again in case we run into any related updates. |

Its not a bad job but it has some flaws. The paint isnt even all the way around and the area where the power button is, is still glossy black. Its a nice attempt though.

People are not wanting the Gunmetal Grey PS3 for its color (few do), they want it because its a special limited edition, which no matter how good your paint job is, cannot replace.

and, let's just say the competition makes a "grey" one to scare people into not buying them. Now, people who sell them on say, Ebay, will now have to go through the trouble of authentication. Unless these entrepreneurs are gracious enough to just do it for nothing...which I doubt. Thusly, it will most likely raise the price of the product...because anyone in their right mind is still going to buy it.

People are saying this doesn't look that bad when it actually does.. The REAL gray ps3 is still shiney and uses the same material as the black one. That looks like they glued some damn sandpaper on the ps3.
I'd rather the real thing than some cheap one like this.

Sorry to say that ur wrong, but this is taken from the official Konami page, under features:
Gun Metal Gray PLAYSTATION®3 with a 40GB Hard drive
Completely new outer casing, featuring a matte gray finish, that has been specially made for this bundle.
Gray DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition
The Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots game, which includes Metal Gear Online, enabling you to take part in the ultimate multiplayer squad based tactical shooter
Exclusive Blu-ray disc including over 2 hours of additional content - "Hideo Kojima's Gene" a behind-the-scenes vision of Hideo Kojima's production team & game and "The Making of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" documentary
The official Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots CD Soundtrack, including 16 never-before-released tracks by Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock), Nobuko Toda, and Ennio Morricone
Notice the matte gray finish...it's not shiny like the conventional PS3, in fact it has a matte finish similar to the PS2.
