While some custom PS5s require a lot of tools or extra, decorative parts, you can create your own PS5 design with a little bit of paint. The side panels are extremely easy to take off, so all you need are supplies and some artistic talent (or just a printout to trace). YouTube user Gawx Art shared a video of how he used paint pens to customize a PS5 for his dad. They took advantage of the white side paneling to add bright, neon colors and create a psychedelic look that popped.
Gawx Art employed a graphite technique to transfer the design over the PS5 before tracing and painting it. All they did was print the design, trim it, and then use graphite to color the backside of the paper the design was on. From there, they taped the design down and used a regular red pen to trace it. When the paper was removed, the graphite from the tracing stayed, so it created an easy outline to follow.
Considering all these items can be grabbed for pretty cheap at your local art store, this is a realistic way to try custom designing your own PS5!
