No not really if its normal spray paint your using prime it if its krylon x metals (plastic paint)you don't need to just read what the back of the tin before you start

if you use spray paint when your hand swet it will smuge i uses a airbrush

Krylon fusion in the US at walmart is 4.97, at my Walmart they just got black and navy blue, but its cheap, and get krylon fusion clear coat also, it is the same amount of money also

fatguy101 wrote I'm thinking of doing designs for my controller and xbox 360. Is there a specific type of spray paint that i need? If anyone knows the full list of what to buy I would be grateful.

Any paint that bonds to plastic well will work fine but i suggest krylon fusion.

also your going to need some sand paper, and some cardboard to paint on. Make sure you sand the controller down pretty good and spraypaint your controller in fair amounts on the controller. that keeps puddles from gathering up and keeps it from forming drops that leave lines down the controller.

Also i suggest getting some kind of clear shining paint to give it a real shiny and good looking look to it.



There is a youtube video that might help


EDIT: you will also need a Torx T8 security bit screwdriver or a small flathead to break off the little bin on the inside of the screws
