[Capt.Afroman]

Ive been looking on the forums here for a while , and cant seem to find a direct answer to what i should use to paint my Dualshock 3 controller with... (part of a project i was planning to do this summer...)
Any help would be appreciated, and if this has been posted, just redirect me

Uh... spraypaint lol :p


If you're asking what brand, you can use pretty much all major brands if you do good prep work. Automotive paint looks really nice with good prep work, but plastic paints like "Krylon Fusion For Plastic" will adhere to plastic well even if your prep work isn't too good.

 Sand with 1000 grit sandpaper lightly. Use Krylon fusion paint for plastic, then use a Krylon satin clear coat.
