Boredom and Plastic Dye

Archive: 7 posts


So i got myself bored over my off day. Whilst piddling around I happened upon my cans of plasti-kote plastic dye. Soon i was up to no good.

Honestly, the one i did for my 360 ended up looking better, but oh well, right? This is more of a ps3 forum, so here we go!

(Oh, before i get ahead of myself, i'm not gonna post a tutorial on how to take the controller apart. Unlike other systems controllers, which are fairly straight forward, the ps3 controller is a pain in the.......hinter regions to put back together. I don't want to hear anything about someone playing with the things and messing them up, OK? OK.)

this is after about 5 minutes to take the thing apart. I hate the way this things innards were designed. its like they don't want people fiddling with it! can you believe it?

15 minutes of painting, half an hour of drying, and about 45 minutes of trying to put the da...rned thing back together and we have....

Oh, and see that tiny plastic thingy in the bottom of that last picture. I have no clue where that part went or what it did, so...yea. it's no longer with my controller.

Tan was the best color you could find? [/sarcasm]

Seriously, though, I would've painted it with some obnoxious bright color... Glow in the dark paint would have been epic.

well, i had like 3 or 4 colors, but tan was the only one that had any amount left.
That and i messed it up. it was supposed to be tan with a very light sprinkling of black, kinda like my 360 one i did.

I'll eventually try and sand it down again and do some real work on it, but for now, at least it looks different.

too bad that this paint cost like 6 bucks a can. though. it makes it into a right pain when i screw something up.

some of it is kinda worn away from use, mainly on the joysticks, but it is still really nice. one day i'll have the time/money to devote to my ps3 controller. one day. think i'll go dark blue/dark orange-yellow with it. dunno yet tho.
