Yea the case for the controller is a pretty simple layout and easily disasembled. Once thats done its easy mode from then on.

Is there any recommended paint your suppose to use, or a method ? I heard when done spray painting you should spray a coat of enamel on to prevent the paint being scratched off.

Don't bump old topics - start a new one...
 

But for your paint, I heard krylon fusion, car paint, etc. will work. Method, well, it's basically sand, prime, sand, first coat of paint, sand, 2nd coat, sand, 3rd coat, sand, clear coat... Soemthing like that.

Sorry, I thought I would of been told to search if I started a new one, because this one was still on the first page. Anyway while I'm here, I've seen on youtube people just put two coats of plastic primer wait till it drys couple of coats of paint and then Enamel. Would that be OK ?

Thank you

That might work too. There are MANY ways to do it. Some may work better than others, but really, if you sand it nicely, and spray evenly, many methods will work.

What sandpaper level should I use, like how fine should it be ? Because I'm thinking of sand>primer>primer 2nd coat> spray paint>spray paint 2nd coat>enamel. Have you painted any controllers ?

Thanks again

No I haven't painted any controllers, but I have been reading around for a while, and I've heard tips, etc. from other modders. Here is a basic tutorial on the process for spray painting anything like consoles, controllers, etc.

Perhaps I'm not an advanced modder, but I have basic knowledge and I hope that helps you.

Its, cool man I was just wondering. You've been really helpful. I just went and bought the supplies then. I talked to the guy there he also gave me a few tips. When its all done I'll post a few pictures or a video up here. I also plan on putting some blue LED's in the ring of light part. So hopefully all goes well. Just one more question. If I'm going to make a viddo can I use the acidmods intro video ? Like this one:

I'd just like to show a little bit more support.

Thanks again

Glad to be of help. As for the AcidMods intro video, I'm not sure - you might have to ask System or one of the Admins. Although it's not copyrighted or anything, you might just wanna make sure. It's great that you want to show support though, and if they don't give you permission, you could always just get a picture of the AcidMods banner and just put that at the beginning of the video. Good luck, and definitely put up pictures/videos when you're done.
