Hey in another thread you asked why it might've cracked and I think it might be because you dried it outside, then inside. Apparantly rapid changes in temperature can cause paint to crack while drying, and I'd guess there's a good 15-20 degrees celcius difference between outside and in your house. (You guys use Celcius in UK right?)

Dude that's pretty damn good. I'll be painting mine to match my black controller too now :D That looks awesome black, I don't see why M$ didn't make black versions in the first place...
