Robin I r sorrieez.
It appears that the only type of paint I can find is Krylon Fusion for Plastics so I suppose that's what I will use. I really wish I could spray paint in the winter though.
Can't do it for like 5 months because it's the middle of winter and up in Canada we average at like -10 celcius But right after everything thaws out (sometime in march/april) I'm definitely gonna get started on it. I'm planning on spray painting some sort of controller (probably 360, they're the cheapest, even though I don't own a 360), and I will probably spray my ps1, xbox, and possiblly computer. The method i'll be using was done on a computer, but i"m sure I could adapt it to a controller. Although the 360 controller has many curves in it, I think the mirror finishw ill still show alright. Here's some pictures of the final finish on a computer case (not my pictures, found them on internet):
Well first I sanded it with 400 grit wet and dry. In a tutorial I saw you should actually wet the controller and then sand. Then two coats of plastic primer brand: plasti-kote and then one thin coat of paint and then I left it for 24 hours and then a thick coat of paint. The paint was Rusto-oleum universal advanced formula all surface paint. I've been like documenting the mod as I went along every significant change I recorded. So once my LED's are in I'll put the video together which shows all the stuff I used. Its nothing special. I wanted it to be unique and look like a professional one. One which looks like you could buy it in the shops, so no designs.Max
