Then take out your controller from the back very
carefuly
Once you have it taken apart take out all of the buttons of your xbox 360 controller(A,b,x,y,RB,LB,Start and select,Analog sticks,Dpad,RT,LT,Xbox button,and your battery pack)

Next get some paint thinner and some cue tips
Put some paint thinner in a cup
Now Put some paint thinner on the cue tips
Rub the controller about 3 times over with the cue tips with paint thinner on them

Now you are ready to paint
Spray light coats on your controller till its finshed
Make sure to get the sides and edges of the controller

Once you have done that let it lay for at least 24 hours

Then your ready to put in back to together

Now your finshed



When you put your controller back to together make sure that all of the buttons are where they are supposed to be at.
Also put the padding on the buttons once you get them in there
If you dont they controller wont work right
Should look like this

Does it matter what type of paint spray we use? or do you have to use a certain 1?

im pretty sure you have to use some sort of sand paper ti grind the white paint down so the new paint can stick and if there is too much paint on the controller it will just peel, in my opinion you should just use sharpe
