Hey, I wish I had controllers like those, I would grab two white ones and spray paint one with pink, orange, and yellow and the other green, blue, and purple.
Also a good tip for you to clean your controllers is put them in hot but not boiling water and just lightly scrub them. And future referance when you spray paint it cover the 4 little brass bars on the back or the controller wont work as well. and Krylon doesn't work as well as Rust-Oleum which bonds to anything. And for my final piece of advice around the axyb buttons and over the whole controller use wet dry sandpaper it will give the controller the extra gloss and no stickyness.
OMG I didn't know there were actually people that dumb out there...I bet he'd make an awesome handy man. "I can fix that...let me get my star screw driver and my octagon wrench:/
If you paint the triggers you can fuck up on that whole mechanism when taking them off. After reassembling, when pushing the trigger it leaned more to the right so it would get a bit caught under. I fixed it to where it's durable and doesn't cause really a problem anymore. No matter how close you follow the rules problems can still occur.
Maybe you need to sit your ass down, oh I see you've already sat your ass down since you're on a chair... maybe press that back arrow and quit commenting for life. Shit bags like you should crawl back into the darkness where you trash belong!
mckenzie thorton Sorry, I don't got any issues. You do. Who the fuck makes fun of someone who's explaining some important details. How about you start paying attention in class once in a while, without the dumb pointless comments about him saying "um" this could've been a good video. Great, you ruined life.
The only reason some of his buttons were sticky was because the spray paint made it into the holes. That's not a problem. All you gotta do is get some 1500 grit wet sand paper, roll it into a tiny tube, put it in the hole, and twist it for about a minute or 2. Try the buttons out and see if they stick. If not, congrats, you have successfully painted your controller. If they are sticky, keep sanding it down. Just a friendly tip.
To be honest, He had no clue how to paint correctly.. He's putting WAY to much paint on at one time. Do lite coats on each part, same with the clear coat... that was painful to watch. You literally doused it with clear coat and that's what messed it all up. @ like 10:12 you can see paint bunched up in several places and make it look real bad. If you had done lite coats and waited 10 mins or so and done another, they would look a lot better. Please do research before you act like you know what you are doing and giving bad advice out..
Matthew Toomey i just looked on his site and they look so bad. Have a look at the camo ones on there. Hes just rushing them and using far to much spray on each coat
Ok I just nothing to say to this. I've been painting for years, and there a few things I would like to add 1) tape off around the buttons that don't show so there's no sticking 2) The clear gloss enamel is just like paint if you put too much on at a time it will bubble or run 3) if you sand the surface with a high grit sand paper it sticks better 4) after you sand wash with a degreaser (paint thiner, dawn dish soap ect...) 5) spray paint is not the best for patterns you can buy an air gun for cheep on amazon but if you are just trying this then spray inches from the surface.
Hey now. Painting controllers like this is not an easy thing. I think he did a really good job considering he didn't sand it down first. There are many different ways for this. Everyone has their own. But good job Andrew. You helped me with some tips.
Honestly it doesn't look that bad compared to some other controllers I've seen done 😂 kind of reminds me of Venom a bit Mightve wanted to sand it down first if it wasn't done though
Cheap. Inexpensive. I have like 5 controllers so if I screw one up I can just leave that for a "guest" to play with lol. I'm gonna try this versus dropping $90 on a customized/modded controller. Good video
hey....I just want to say....thank you....I showed it to my freinds...they think I paid someone to do it for me....but I did it and added some decals....BTW thanks so much....
Cool video keep up the good work. Don't read mist of the comments because 95% of the people are haters and there judging you by one video that you may have just ran out of words to say. I also saw a lot of people helping out I could say. Thanks for the video
Thnx man I just asked my father and he said yes I have got the stencil of the artwork on it and I also have my name on it looks cool even though I haven't painted it.. Thnx
2 questions: 1. If the buttons do get sticky, do they unstuck with use? 2. Do the a, b, x, y, and home buttons have little groves or something so they always go in straight? I hate it when stuff like that is crooked.
the controlers seem to come apart and go back together pretty easily, that said youle want to pay attention to how it fits together when u take it apart for the first time. if you dont wan to take it apart you dont have to, i have 2 or 3 videos on my channel showing you what to do
You are better of applying some striker over your controller or buying a custom painter case. Because the paint that comes in paint cans is crappy, and the paint can doesn't have enough pressure to pulverise the paint like a real paint gun could. But if you really want to do this...you should sand paper the controller(fine sandpaper), then clean it with alcohol, let it dry, and then paint.
why do people have to be so damn rude about it... he made this video to help people if you dont like the way he talks then go to another video. grow up
Trust me its very easy to do. I don't take anything apart and I have no experience and just today I took apart my controller and it is really easy. And surprisingly fun. So trust me its easy. Just give it a try.
My favorite part was 08:25 where he rhymes Um with Some

Thanks bro! got my own customized controller. All my friends are asking me how I did it!
Also nice to mention is a Security Torx-8 cause just a T-8 you will have to break the pins in the screws to actually undo it
I really didn't know to paint a xbox controller you need paint and a xbox controller... thanks very helpful indeed.
Ok I just nothing to say to this. I've been painting for years, and there a few things I would like to add

that controller is sick its awesome
Buff and polish the clear!! Good job
Hey now. Painting controllers like this is not an easy thing. I think he did a really good job considering he didn't sand it down first. There are many different ways for this. Everyone has their own. But good job Andrew. You helped me with some tips.
"Needs a special screwdriver" *uses knife and works"
thanks man now i can make my controller look sick
Honestly it doesn't look that bad compared to some other controllers I've seen done 😂 kind of reminds me of Venom a bit
Mightve wanted to sand it down first if it wasn't done though
you sir are a freaking God for that
Good tutorial and cool design
Nice design. It reminds me of Van Halen's guitar.
I watching this in 2015 but it still a good video nice controller mattcarl
That's probably the best paint job for any Xbox controller out there. I just think the white glaze makes it look weird.
That looks pretty dope
Guys stop hating on him... Whats he done wrong hes trying to help people
Cheap. Inexpensive. I have like 5 controllers so if I screw one up I can just leave that for a "guest" to play with lol. I'm gonna try this versus dropping $90 on a customized/modded controller. Good video
that controller looked really nice
Thank u so much I painted mine with blue black and red it looks bad ass XD
hey....I just want to say....thank you....I showed it to my freinds...they think I paid someone to do it for me....but I did it and added some decals....BTW thanks so much....
really man the first thing im gonna need is a controller cause i had my paint n screwdrivers and thought i was good to go, good save sherlock!!
That was very cool I'm going to try that at home
Me too!
That looks sooooo cool
awesome controller dude
Cool video keep up the good work. Don't read mist of the comments because 95% of the people are haters and there judging you by one video that you may have just ran out of words to say. I also saw a lot of people helping out I could say. Thanks for the video
That looks sick! Who needs to spend $60 for a custom one! U should've done red and blue Spider-Man one
This guys great at saying "um"
If you dont want the buttons to stick when its done before u spray it put tape on the inside of where the buttons are.
that looks nice dude!!
awesome controler bro
!
I costomized mine with nail polish and it works perfectly
it took me a while to find it, I had to go to like 3 different walmarts
Best controller ever!! No joke
Thnx man I just asked my father and he said yes I have got the stencil of the artwork on it and I also have my name on it looks cool even though I haven't painted it.. Thnx
I was looking all over TH-cam on custom controllers but realized I have a modern warfare 3 custom controller. BIG DERPPPPPPPP :P
I'm getting WW2 radio flashbacks from that audio
The proper screwdriver needed to take the controller apart is a t8 torx which you can buy from modjunkies website.
Awesome video dude!
I've gotten 90 seconds in and now I'm here looking for "umm" comments. I'm leaving satisfied. Thank you comments section; carry on.
2 questions:
1. If the buttons do get sticky, do they unstuck with use?
2. Do the a, b, x, y, and home buttons have little groves or something so they always go in straight? I hate it when stuff like that is crooked.
All the buttons only go in one way there's tabs to allow this
I like this, thanks man. Really helpful.
My left ear enjoyed this..
Thats pretty sick
This helped thanks Matt
the controlers seem to come apart and go back together pretty easily, that said youle want to pay attention to how it fits together when u take it apart for the first time. if you dont wan to take it apart you dont have to, i have 2 or 3 videos on my channel showing you what to do
yea, it just requires more coats if u are using light colored paint
You are better of applying some striker over your controller or buying a custom painter case.
Because the paint that comes in paint cans is crappy, and the paint can doesn't have enough pressure to pulverise the paint like a real paint gun could.
But if you really want to do this...you should sand paper the controller(fine sandpaper), then clean it with alcohol, let it dry, and then paint.
Sand Paper (fine) added
why do people have to be so damn rude about it... he made this video to help people if you dont like the way he talks then go to another video. grow up
btw you have to sand down your controller to make your buttons regular
it looked cool with the tape on
Looks good but u should of changed the thumb sticks and buttons
I know he said ummm a lot but the finished controller looks really cool
You can use a torx t8 screwdriver as well
Trust me its very easy to do. I don't take anything apart and I have no experience and just today I took apart my controller and it is really easy. And surprisingly fun. So trust me its easy. Just give it a try.
Looks crazy .
The screwdriver you used is a Flathead jeweler's screwdriver
Thanks it turned out awsome
