How to paint your Xbox 360 controller buttons. triggers, and thumbsticks!

[n1njawe1ner]

can you paint the rubber part of the joysticks or is that just retarded?

[Sk8Gnarley]

Can someone PLEASE do this for ps3?

[Jose1Steph2]

just work around the rubber lol ;D

[ccyl54]

have on of the A,B,X,Y buttons?

[xTHECODGODx]

The reason why you didnt find any videos on this, is because the paint is guaranteed to come off.

[MrTacoCody]

why did you not paint the xbox button............. the one that turns the xbox on

[JTGillray]

wont the thumbsticks get stuck with the paint on them ?

[CustomCasesNZ]

@JTGillray layer of paint is far to thin and they already have a 1mm gap between them and the case

[Whiteboy199888]

Ok, tips : 1 you do not need to sand the buttons before you use adhesion( you do if you don't use it) ( it looks a little better without it)

2) try krylon for plastic,you don't sand or use adhesion

[ExtremeLonely360]

7:35 Printer!!!!

[Dbagmistatbag]

you did this so clear and i did it but my dog fucked it up and almost ate my x button the blue x button.

[MultiBananamonkey123]

3:48 push it in lol

[rt8269]

or...you could buy buttons for like

$5.00

[lerp85]

@rt8269 LOL, why spend the extra cash if you got the buttons and paint already? People that paint there own controller might as well not waste the money.

[BinwaleeBoy]

fuck that ima paint it throw a fan on it and watch avatar including the credits and when it goes off the buttons should be ready



[therealdami3n]

Doesnt the buttons wear after time? I heard your supposed to paint them to manufacturing standard to not have it ware off.

[iCeeyRemix]

[D3ADM0N3Y101]

[YouPoop33]

[BrOwNiE0307]

I can't even do this and I still watch these videos.

[danielabare86]

I been seeing stuff on youtube about moded systems an controllers. I decide I want to try an paint one of my N64 controllers. The only thing I could not find was how to do the buttons onto you video. I migth do a ps3 one later. The 64 controller is cheeper.

[MrJonnehBoy]

What if we wanted to paint the whole thumbstick just dont use the tape on it? and if i painted the whole thumbstick will it like stick or mess it up when i play?

[TheWUBA]

@MrJonnehBoy the grip is rubber u cant really paint rubber

[CSExotics]

I <3 your vids!

[fayettevillin]

actually the whole button is clear it looks like that cuz the letter insert is white!

[DaneCookOwnz]

[Chewitdude64]

once you scratch it doesnt that ruin it?

[CrAzYCaVeMaN43]

i didnt know Eminem painted controllers lol

[DezoAv]

@CrAzYCaVeMaN43 lol he sounds like him so much!

[MrSnakey14]

Do you have to do the sanding or can you skip it?

[KHSBikesCo]

@MrSnakey14 you should sand it so it makes the paint stick better, I wouldnt skip that step if I was you

[ThatwasAsian]

How do you paint the rubber part of the thumbsticks? Whoever can help i think you in advanced

[MultiSuperLMAO]

What exactly makes them so shiny?

[MrSnakey14]

@MultiSuperLMAO Clear coat i think.

[JDxStUdI0s]

@MultiSuperLMAO Gloss paint and the clear coat

[marshalzombie]

do you have to use that adhesive promoter? and what was the thing yu usd after you painted it

[JDxStUdI0s]

@marshalzombie YES you have to use Adhesion Promoter or else the paint will NOT stick. The thing after was a clear coat

[colbyward1]

what did he put on the buttons before the color?

[JDxStUdI0s]

@colbyward1 Adhesion Promoter

[Travie44762]

[Germivoid]

[MLGxBULLDOGx]

[theeteeteerockstarr]

[whitelightningxx]

[Th3UnrealGaming]

[WeeAllRiidee]

[TheNeto4813]

[XiLeStudio]

do you need to use the sand papier

[DuhBigNut]

Please someone quickly answer this " can you paint the buttons without scuffing it out with sand paper?'

[iMissclicked]

@DuhBigNut No, the paint won't stick.

[DuhBigNut]

@iMissclicked Please answer quickly " Were can i buy sand paper in this video from in america usa?"

[iMissclicked]

@DuhBigNut At a fucking walmart...? That's sad.

[DuhBigNut]

@iMissclicked Thank you Last Question " What kind of sandpaper do i get what is it named?"

[iMissclicked]

@DuhBigNut Fuck off.

[DuhBigNut]

@iMissclicked this is what i call a fag.

[iMissclicked]

@DuhBigNut You are what I call a lazy prick. You can't do anything yourself so you rely on people telling you exactly what to do. Take some chances with your life kid.

[DuhBigNut]

@iMissclicked all i did was ask some questions now i am a lazy prick?

[theryan96]

I wish you didnt edit out the drying process. I always love to see paint dry. It makes my dick bounce.

[caldog12345]

[adem1000000]

@MrZombies1996 You can,but if you put plastic coat spraypaint on it,it would be fucke up

[Anaman536]

please reply to me im currently prepped to paint. What if i dont sand the buttons? and How many coats of clear coat should i use after painting?

[AngryKittehPoo]

@Anaman536 If you don't sand the buttons the paint wont stick very well. Unless you something called an adhesion promoter. As for the clear coat put on at least 2 light coats.

[SHAGST3R484]

thanx bro...

[BannedByRadio]

Does this scratch the buttons afterwards?

[iRnewbZ]

[MRchipsndip34]

now, what happens if you dont scuff up the buttons? will the result not be the same?

[Sassytude3]

What were the white buttons not the triggers

[BurgBall]

Let me make this clear, clear coat is essential to the final product, paint will rub off on your hands and fade away

[BurgBall]

@thenwhyamisogood the paint may run and will look uglyyy

[expertFAME]

[1337strvids]

[ryanpr98]

when u paint the buttons do they still feel like they do un painted?

[OZBAL42]

[millerdude98]

so clear coat one layer, color two layers and then whats the third part?

[UchihaGrand]

can you show us the finished product of the controller? plz

[sycotia]

ok well im trying to find something as a hobby such as painting and i figured this might really help jumpstart something. but i live with one parent and we dont really have money to waste so im wondering if there is a way i can be safe and not mess up any of the controllers hardware or if i should start with something like sharpie or whatever.

[Flyman619]

Nice video, really helped alot, but, how do I paint/color the rubber on the thumbsticks?

[Thenwhyamisogood]

Do you have to sand them? What will happen if ya dont sand them? Please respond back!!!
