General Discussion Forum for Custom Paint Jobs

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Hey, whats up Painters
Just thought I should start a thread regarding Custom Paint Jobs on Controllers. A place where all the painters out there can come and talk about what paint they use, the best way to purchase/print decals and stencils, and much more. Feel free to talk about your works and feel free to ask any questions on the forum regarding paint jobs or stick/led mods, and other painters like myself will hopefully be able to help you out.
Really Quick:
See Some of my Custom Works here - http://s1321.beta.photobucket.com/user/GameCubeScrubb/media/photo_zpsc37c3d85.jpg.html
Take a look at my Customs up on eBay here:

Just thought I should start off with the first question, so here we go:
What is the cheapest way to purchase decals? I cannot seem to find a relatively inexpensive way to do this. Are there any strategies I should implement to get the same effect without decals? By the way, I use spray paint, I do not use Automotive with a Gun like CustomNesGuy and Zoki64.

Please help me guys keep this forum up! It would be awesome to keep the subject alive. A lot of the topics in my other forum, Custom GameCube Controllers, should fall under this topic. Please take any questions you have about PS3 sticks and Paint Jobs OVER HERE!!!

I really want to paint my controller, but I don't have a proper screwdriver!

 

[standardtoaster]

you need a triwing from amazon or you can use a small flathead screwdriver

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Triwings on eBay from Hong Kong are a buck free shipping. They are legit, but not really durable. I would buy a few, they ship in like 3 weeks takes forever but it is the cheapest way.

they're that cheap? shouldn't have ordered mine off playasia then. i got ripped off 9_9

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Yea, check em out on ebay. It is really cheap to buy them, seems like I am the only one who knows about it.

Anyone have any pro tips to avoid dirt from getting on your work while spray painting? I always seems to get tiny specs on my work. Does wearing a suit help?

A small electronics shop not far from home are selling triwings screwdrivers at like 3$ lol

Anyway, there is already a thread about spray painting controllers in the Brawl boards http://smashboards.com/threads/265922/

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Yea, but those are the Brawl forums. Pretty scrubby. Ill probably stayed tuned on both, thanks for letting me know
