Anyone here custom paint any controllers?

Just went to the store to pick up some paint for my ps3 controller. Just wondering if anyone else here has painted any controllers. If so any tips? Also show some pics :P

I've never thought about doing that, What do you use? I could honestly see myself plasti dipping my controller white lol.Tetrarch9

i'd expect it'd be tough to do without it getting sticky. but what do i know? :Pstarwarsjunky

I'm really hoping it still has a solid feel to it, which I think it will since everybody online I have seen who has painted a controller seems to really like it.

I never painted a controller but I painted my ps3 sharpshooter. I just didn't like the original look of the sharpshooter gun. Sand, adhesion promoter, prime, paint (i used krylon fusion) and put on clear coat (krylon fusion matte) as well. The paint holds up very well.

I almost decided to go ahead & paint mine when I took my controller apart to fix the left joystick, but I just wanted to get the thing back together & start playing again.:P

I'd be too scared to paint a controller in case I dropped it in the tin or something stupid like that. I would kill for an official transparent controller though. Back in the 90's everything seemed to have a transparent case (I had a Game Boy that had a clear casing) so I think it should make a comeback. :)MonoSilver

Just a heads up, Target actually sells an official transparent red controller.

 I live in the UK and they don't ship internationally so not much use I'm afraid. Plus I was being maybe a bit optimistic and hoping for clear plastic, not coloured. MonoSilver

Just finished clear coating, just gotta let it dry, will post pics sometime tomorrow. Turned out really well :P Just have to wait for my new buttons to arrive and I can put it all back together.

Well finally got it all painted up and the splatter done. Just waiting for the buttons to arrive, cant wait!

Nope, can't say that I have

When will the new buttons come in? I would love to see it finished.
