Looks beautiful but my only recommendation is to start with a VERY light coat at first and continue to do small coats until you build up to full color. Should help your paint running issue!
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try that technique next time!
Trenton Sauve I’m about to do this to my controller how long do I wait for clear coat.
@@mcox4417 I would wait at least a day for the paint to dry completely before applying any clear coat. Good luck, let me know how it turns out!
T2 Games have you ever painted the button or joystick? If so how did you do it
@@mcox4417 I have not done either but I would recommend sanding the buttons beforehand as with the controller shell. As for the joysticks they would be tricky as they are rubberized, personally I would not paint them just because of that.
this was awesome! I know im 2 years late but i can see you put a lot of work into this video and it was really helpful
Good Disassembly guide
Video starts at 13:08
My left ear loved this vid
bro great video very helpful. the only thing is (i dont want to sound rude but) GET TO THE POINT it felt sooooo long lol
FastPass Studios yea that was really rude
Why does Constructive criticism have to be rude
I agree do you understand editing bro
@@foks0054 bruh it was nice that he went through all the steps so that it was easier to understand
You know you can sell these for wayyy more than you bought em for
Can i use a regular white primer on the default black shell and get the same result? Id rather not spend 20 on a shell that isn’t necessary
Yes. I just bought the white shell because I wanted to keep the original.
This will be perfect for the pdp faceoff deluxe+
Nice guide, hope I can pull this project off.
yeeeeeaa.. i rather go with stickers, good video for whoever needs it though!
Wait wait wait wait, a rl TH-camr a cuber and a tutorial creator, damn I’m subbing
Nice job man! Could've been too cold outside, that's why your paint ran. Thought you'd have a T2 stencil on your controller!
I might have to slap one on the back now you mention it haha, yeah it was like 20 degrees F outside
Good job I hope you get 1 million subs
Buenardo, good video and so helpful, now i know what not touch.
This is amazing
140 then 150 sandpaper. How many coats? One for the color and then one for clear? Just curious because I plan on doing this too.
you should do many thin coats to get an opaque controller. Im not sure how many coats of clear but one to two should be fine
Trying using Montana spray paint
I have the wired Pro controller is it safe to Hydro dip or no?
It should be as long as you actually know how to hydro dip. And, of course, if you took all the electronics out.
Would it work with acrilic paints as well?
looks good, how does it feel? mine feels very slippery. i prefer the original feel pre painted
I want to do that but I'm shy if I broke the controll on the try
You'll be fine as long as you take precautions such as avoiding static electricity (don't wear socks and work on carpet, for example) as well as making sure to be gentle with the components and don't force anything open. Good luck!
i just wanna know where the stencil was from or what was used to make it. Like, what is the process for spraying the stencil? Taping everything around it? like i dont get it all.
I printed out the logo on a piece of paper in the size i wanted, the cut it out and used double sided tape to stick it to the controller. Then you can spray over it with the color you want the logo to be and remove it.
T2 Games damn nice. I’d just be worried about getting overspray on the other colors or different parts :(
Make sure to cover the rest of the controller with some sort of masking tape to prevent that!
What kind of paint you used?
The joycons are already crapping out they don’t have any cute colored pro controllers so I was thinking of getting the white one and painting the buttons ink anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
The original shell has a crappy finish. I have had 2 controllers where the finish wore away around my a button.
Does the texture of the controller feel different after you spray painted it?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. It feels more rough for sure, I would recommend using a sandpaper with more than 200 grit before painting. Since the grips can still be swapped for the originals and the painted ones don't feel too much worse, the texture really isn't an issue for me/doesn't bother me. Hope this answered your question!
@@T2Games Thanks
@@T2Games It hasn't really got much to do with the sandpaper, more your spraying technique.
This is more of a disassembly/reassembly video. You hardly spent any time covering the painting process. Anyway, have you considered doing the grips in Deep Blue or Brilliant Blue? Those colors are both gloss but you have the matte clear coat. I think the Mega Man color scheme would look pretty cool.
Did he sand the grips?
Yes
I'm a kid but ima do this stuff
I know a way easier way, get a PDP face off deluxe+ controller. You can literally take off the whole face and if you want you can customize it like that then put the face back on. But this is just my opinion.
Defeats the purpose of painting a controller. Painting a controller is much more controllable than searching one up on amazon.
Doing work on electronics on a carpet is a very bad idea just saying
First
Omfg you’re legit damaging the rubber cable by removing it like that 🤦🏻♂️
How should you do it?
Anaïs Noy properly unclip it from the clip it sits in. Not unclipping it will tear it and damage it.
Thank you! Will try
