I'm looking for someone to paint a controller shell for me! Preferably someone in socal. I'll pay for it (of course).

Back story (just included for kicks, no real info)
I bought my current lime green shell at SCSA 4 for 25$ (I think, it may have been less) from a norcal player called kurohito or something. It was fine and didn't really chip at all, although at the time of purchase it had very tiny chips in it. I bought another one from him at Genesis that was light blue (the color of Falco's blue jacket) for the same price. Half of that one chipped off in a couple of months because it wasn't done correctly. Alas, I went back to the lime green which was fine but then the small chips it had got bigger and bigger. Now, about half of that controllers paint has chipped off as well.

Misc
So basically, now I'm looking for someone who can spray paint me a new controller. I bolded spray paint because Ghad painted his controller with actual paint and his taunt button stopped working LOL.

Payment/Color
I'll figure out what color (will just be one solid color), and how we're going to go about getting the money/controller to each other after I've found someone who will actually do it. As for payment, I assume $25 will do. If you want more then I guess we can bargain or something. Also, if you can supply the shell, that'd be great because if you live far then getting you a shell would be a real big hassle.

Last note
I'd really like this one to not chip lol. I'm not sure what the difference between my lime green shell and light blue shell was but the former definitely did not chip as easily as the latter.

I think the paint just chips because of lack of primer or maybe clear coat at the end? idk I painted my current blue controller in the dark (LOL) and it's pretty much almost all chipped off too. if you do spray paint your controller, lmk how it goes

Yeah i've heard that the most important thing is the stuff that goes over the actual paint at the end

Personally when I found out you could paint controllers, I couldn't wait to try it myself... but then I felt them and I really hated it so I gave up

Grab some friends and have a controller painting party!
