Let's hope you got some good clear coat =P

I don't see the point of painting controllers, I'm one of those weird people that watches the screen while I play, haha.

i know some people that have used the clear coat that i used and it works well, i painted it because i got bored of the plain white, it looks ugly just white

I think it looks sexy and sleek in white but to each his own.

yep, people will always have different opinions, as long as it makes you happy ;D

i think you did a very good job for a first time

i have never done this (well, i've actually worked with spray paint but not on xbox 360 ctrls ), but some constructive criticism: if you draw better black lines IMO the ctrl would look sharper and even cooler. try using scotch tape for the painting, so you get lines as straight as possible.

 

[laserlover]

i originally wanted no black line but the tape i used didn't block the paint from running under the edges, so it looked really bad, so i took some black paint and used a crappy paintbrush to try and cover the ugly edge, which produced a ugly black line, but o well because it was my first one. ;D

You should do one in glow in the dark Krylon spray paint
