Already have a majoriy of the supplies, including the spray, and the jerry-rigged set that I made to hold the controller/stop the paint, and the torx bit set (people, make sure you get the long set!!! I got a set that was like a fifth of a meter too short XP) I just need to undo the screws, and pant it. I however am going to paint mine red with black. Thanx for the tutorial!!

It turned out really well. I let the controller dry for 24 hours before using it and at first it seemed to be ok. I've now noticed that the paint is coming off the controller on the sides where you hold it after playing a good couple of hours.<BR/><BR/>Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening to my other controllers? I would love to customise them too.
