sweeeeeeet!
I would still have to find the clear coat though, I should be able to find that in the same area as the paint do you think? What are a couple good brands?

∴Yes. The clear coat should be in the same area as the spray paint.

Any clear coat coat would be good, but might as well buy the Krylon cleat coat to make your whole controller a Krylon controller!

He he. In all seriousness, any clear coat would be fine. ∴

awesome!
thanks so much dikastis shok :D <3

∴No problem, Gerbality.

Just for your troubles, the clear coat can won't always say, "Clear Coat". It might have some other names.

For example, here is the Krylon clear coat:

Just keep your eyes open for anything with "Clear" in the name. Not all cans are like this, however.∴

Let the spray paint dry first, then add in whatever else you want - you can even put a bit of spray paint in a cup and use a brush with it. Put the clear coat on after all of your other painting is done.

If you want to make a design, yes.

Are you going to use stencils?

Do you still need clear coat if you're using vinyl spraypaint?

Yes.

Why is it needed? I thought vinyl spraypaint bonded to the plastic.

You're right.

Vinyl does bond to the plastic, but leaves a very dry finish. You clear coat it for protection and a smooth finish.
