RBsControllers wrote Can anyone help me out here?

What kind of paint do I need to spray paint it?


for UK: Plasti-kote (i think it's spelt like that)
for US: Krylon

but i would recommend investing in an airbrush if you plan on selling because the paints can be coated more evenly and you can add lots of detail to the controller whereas a spray can can't

Which one should I use?

Plastic or Professional.. Not sure..

I`m probably going to try plastic.

use the right kind of paint or it will smear when you sweat.

remember to scuff the controller using sand paper then spray primer onto it. Then after painting use a good clear coat to ensure the paint won't come off for a long time

if you want to spray your pad its fine but make sure its carefully done by someone who knows what there doing and i highly agree not to get a plate for the controller because it creates a 2cm piece which means that the buttons will be stuck inside the controller

_Drizzy_ wrote Thinking about spray painting controller. Want to know if there is any flaws with doing it?


I painted my controller. It is very worth it once you buy Krylon plastic paint and Krylon clear coat for plastic. It has to be for plastic though. also, if you don't put clear coat on it, you will have scratches where you set the controller down. Hope I Helped! any questions, PM me. ;)
