Controller Art

[5ive]

So I basically started doing controllers, 20 dollars each, for my friends.

 

[zrky]

you just painted a controller gold?

 

[MBreeto]

looks cool, but are the joysticks gonna be sticky now cuz of the paint?

Also, here is my wavebird. When I first got it, I colored part of it black with a sharpie so I could distinguish it from my brothers, and a lot of the black faded now because of using it so much lol

Nope, not at all.

 

[Roller]

Nice. I like it. A lot.

Are the L and R buttons black too? 'cause in the last pic it looks like you can see a gray one. If not, how come?

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

That gold controller is nasty. How do the controls feel?

 

[PMKNG]

The l and r buttons would scrape off eventually regardless, so I'm pretty sure thats why he may have left them gray, and the one you see colored should be the Z button.

car paint ftw!

 

[MBreeto]

^ it looks like the red controller would taste like a lollipop...

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

are there controllers that have L/R that you don't have to push down so far? like a 360 controller? pm/vm response.

 

[Diddyknight]

For real it does. Mmmmm flavored controlers...

So pretty

 

[PK Webb]

when painting your controller do you have to take out the "guts" of the controller???

Updated first post. Check out the new controllers.

That's what happens when you use permanent markers like Sharpies on plastic. They wear off if you constantly touch it.

I like the controllers, especially those with car paint

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

i think itd be sick to have a white controller and use blue sharpie on it. that way it would wear off and leave a sweet blue/white effect.
but that's just my opinion cause I'm... blue/white obsessive. my shoes, my room, my hat, my everyday outfits, my avatar, my sig, my name/post text, EVERYTHING about me is blue and white. ima try it. maybe.

 

[Morrigan]

Nah, it would look as if someone spilled ink on it. Worn-out sharpie = fugly

True story.



hmmm. I may have to try this out..

 

[5ive]

uhhm k.
Anyone care to comment on the new controllers I just posted up?

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

i dont like the red blue and yellow one. i like the IDEA cause its a triad and everything, but ive never been a fan of the primary color scheme. my favorite by far is the secksy b&w one. no surprise that you sell these.

 

[Roller]

I like them. like the origional more though. but in all honesty, the car paint comes out way better.

My client asked for the Filipino flag, so I did it for him

car paint ftw!

how much does car paint cost? and where did you get it?

 

[SOVAman]

My friend painted my controller here are my

he just uses regular spray paint with plastic primer and clear coat

 

[Morrigan]

Ohh, Yoshi colors!

 

[1UPChris]

I think I'm gonna buy a Wavebird. If I can, I'll also buy some car paint instead of regular spray paint. I'll probably do green on top and dark blue on the bottom. Other effects I'll add are white A, B, X, Y, L, R, Z, and START buttons, along with switching out the C stick with another analog stick from my older controller. I might not do this because of tournament rules. I'll post my results as soon as it's done.

Btw, green, blue, and white are my high schools' colors. That's why I picked them.

Why does your C stick have the whirly thing that the Control Stick usually has?

I switched it with another controller

Yes.

It's a must if you don't intend to color your buttons and sticks.​

 

[GuruKid]

Awesome stuff. I reallly like that turquoise color on the controller.

Man... if I knew someone here in NY (or even NJ) who could do stuff like this, I'd pay them to pimp my controller...

 

[ES Lite]

Wow all these controllers look so **** awesome.
My yellow one pretty much broke. So now i have a normal black one.
I've been thinking of painting it, i dont know what color however.

 

[Van Jones]

Lil B, that controller looks amazing. I really would like to have a different color controller, but I don't like the glossy finish on some of those. Also, different color buttons are the shiz.

 

[Lythium]

That gold one is hideous. No, really. It's awful. I like the car paint ones. They look edible...

 

[sNess California]

those controllers are very creative, hopefully you design other things as well, i really like the black and white controller, i wish i had it, but anyways you're work is really well done!

 

[auroreon]

What is the generally accepted best method to use painting these controllers?
I have painted 3 controllers so far using the guide posted on the Melee boards. They were all fairly successful, but now a lot of the paint has worn off and they don't look nearly as good as they did.

I've heard that the best thing to use is Vinyl Dye, because it actually dyes the plastic, rather than just adding a layer of paint, thus it doesn't wear off. Can anyone confirm this works?

Also, lil b thats a sexy yoshi controller right there.

I wonder why they closed the other thread. . .​

I agree with Beah!
Beah...we should color our own controllers soon + you need to help me fix my Joystick grip =< ..and maybe my other controller that has a sticky left ><;

 

[SOVAman]

Thanks for compliments

and yes the control stick has a lot better grip then the C-stick.
