Yea sorry if its crap but this is my custom painted controller and i am going to the the same scheme with my Gamecube and probably paint the d-pad black and the analogs also.

hope it doesnt suck,
Tom.

looks good

i wouldn't suggest painting the analog sticks though because that would get rid of the rubber grip

That's pretty nice. I'd especially love to see your GC painted that color. And yes, spray paint is torture on the brain. I once had a class in school where we used some form of substance that produces fumes every day. Let me tell you, we came away from each class period practically high.

Here's a suggestion:

Have you ever owned one of those gold N64 controllers, or something or the sort?

The paint on it wears away after a few weeks/months and it really doesn't look all that great. Although I suppose if it's good enough paint it'll hold. As for the D-pad and joysticks, that will wear away in a matter of days.
(I'm guessing)

Its probably some pretty damn good paintas #1 i've used it on a science project in 3rd grade (a canon) and its still good (BTW I'm now in 8th grade) and also seeing as its my Dads and he's a professional painter. (No! not like picasso

!! Think interior exterior decorator!!)

sure:

The funky blue is Rust-Oleum: Hammered (cause' thats what it make you after sniffing it

) The black is Painters Touch By: Rust-Oleum Multi Purpose, and the silver is Rust-Oleum: Bright Coat METALLIC FINISH.

If it stays, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't do it though, but it's still really cool.

Perhaps you should paint designs on your cube. You have 6 perfectly flat surfaces, go wild! (Maybe get some of that 3M plastic tatoo paper and print out some nintendo collages or something)
