Red Tiger Stripe Paint Job: Your Thoughts
« on: December 11, 2009, 06:14:09 PM »
Although I have been modding for a long time, I have never done a paint job.  This is my first paint job on a controller so I kept it relatively simple. I cut out my own paint masks for the stripes.  I also added some mushroom top PS3 type thumbsticks which are far better than the standard.
What color leds should I put in?  I have blue, red, white, purple, orange.  Any other thoughts on other mods I should do on this one and / or other controllers?
EDIT: Added red leds. Haven't gotten around to upping the pics of the red leds yet but you've all seen them so use your imagination for now!:)  I am going to post a few pics but they are big so I will link to the others.
This is just one pic of MANY!  The rest of them are on the imageshack album at the link below. 



EDIT: Pics with red leds

You did a great job considering that's your first paint job!

As for leds, I would go red or orange

Thanks guys, i'll was fairly set on orange or red (probs red) just wanted to see your thoughts.  Will post pics when I put in leds.  Btw is that writing on the paper proof enough or do I need a pic with gamertag?  Also, I can do this paint job if anyone wants one.

BTW the night that I posted those pics or the day after, I swapped in some red leds in the rol.  Haven't gotten around to posting pics but just imagine it for now:)!  Also, i'm working on a couple of mods right now which won't take too long but I can't work on them at all this week.  Hope to get at least one of them done during winter break as I won't be around much then either. :(

Yeah i forgot to mention the PS3 thumbsticks :) thanks for noticing. They are great!  I only uploaded one to the forum post as I took the pics with my Nikon D40X and they are really high quality.  Any future mods or suggestions are appreciated!  Also, yes, I used two coats of clear coat.  I wanted to add maybe one or two more, but then I started to touch it and I was too lazy to.  Doesn't smell great... :)

Is there a reason you don't have a d-pad?

Oh yeah, at the time of the pic, I had not yet replaced my d-pad as I was about to swap leds and then reassemble. :)
