Wait - sane and normal? What planet are we on that I'm considered either? Who moved my apartment without TELLING ME! thats the 3rd time this week!

I need to write more...I'll make something worth reading eventually.

Cool! Now customize me something.

ShadokatRegn says:

But the idea of customizing something is to make it your own! I can't customize something FOR you. Or really, I've just inhaled too many paint fumes, and don't really want to do that again ;)

Compared to most of the internet you're considered sane and normal. Not much of a compliment really, but one none the less. :p

I'm not a fan of the buttons and dpad, but the bottom and handle bits look pretty sweet. I've wondered about putting something on my controllers that won't wear off with use. What kind of paint did you use?

Interesting stuff. I have the creativity to do this sort of thing but unfortunately I have the art skills of a 4th grader.

That's pretty awesome. I'd customize my 360 stuff but they all seem to get really really dirty, and I don't know why.

Oh boy, paint fumes. I'd have done more customizing if I had known paint fumes were involved.

Shadokat, there could be money involved in 'customizing' stuff for me.

Good work. Too bad I don't have the leet skiLLz to do my own customization.

Wow, those shots look awesome. If I had any artistic talent at all, I'd probably try my hand at it.

You have been missed. <3

And I need to write back to you, FUCK. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? I suck so bad.

@ Spykron

I clearly said Fumes, and games workshop paints are generally fume free.

@ Galagabug

I wanted to dye it, but the spray dye is impossible to find. I used Plastic specific spraypaint, which supposedly lasts longest on things like this. It's my spare controller, thats the only reason I went through with it, but it looks nice and works anyway.

@Everyone else;

I PROMISE I'll get to writing. Really. I actually have a real person job again, so I'm busy - but I will definitely get on that.

Woah sweet controller!

I've done stuff like that to my PC
this one is blue, but the screen is still green from the the PC I did before that which was also green :-)

Welcome to the moddingscene :-)

Great first project ;-) Can't wait to see what comes next :-)

Yay! I was mentioned! ^_^

Spykron says:
(# 21) on 03/25/2008 22:22

you "clearly" said fumes in one of the comments. therefore, not clear.

what kind of paint is it then?

The GHost says:
(# 22) on 03/27/2008 03:57

That's super cool. I'm stymied when it comes to customizing my arcade stick. My artistic skills are, how you say, "lacking".

@spykron - Plastic specific spray paint, covered in plastic specific matte protector. its really nice. I don't know if I'd trust it to play halo with, it might be half-covered in paint - but still, its good for the rest of the shtick.
