Started with a few coats of Rustoleom 2-in-1 Ivory Paint and Primer. Considering how dark the original grey Joycons were, it covered amazingly well.
After allowing the paint to dry, I taped off all the sections I wanted to keep white and painted a few layers of colour using Citadel Paints.
Same goes for the back, though the paint bled through pretty heavily on these ones. Easy enough to clean up though, thankfully!
Using Gundam Marker pens and Copic multi liners, I drew on the wear and tear and details I was looking for. I wanted a design reminiscent of the Jedi Starfighters from Revenge of the Sith, which involves a lot of straight angles which were a pain in the ass.

Looks awesome!

Look for vinyl fineline tape 3m PN. 6404 that should solve your bleeding paint line issue...

What coating did you use? No way you can play without destroying your drawings

Oh wow I like that. How well will it hold up with use?

Noice. Now make them fit in normal hands comfortably.

Hard to get used to the button layout too, and as soon as I got used to it, I went and tried to play my Ps4. No clue what I was doing. Lol

The pro controller is 1000% better for marathon sessions

Probably should have gone with a clear coat.

Did a couple of controllers using Dupli-color interior trim and vinyl paint for cars. Its meant to be handled.

Still look and feel great 8 years later. Actually added a new controller fell to a smoothed out controller. Also no odor

Mine is coming in the mail in a few hours. I can't wait for some zelda action.

I'm jealous you get to play for the first time
citizenkayt
Love it! I feel like these also could have been very 'Star Wars X-Wing' oriented as well

The rebels have seized the controllers!

Looks really cool!

For future projects with painter's tape, you should know that painter's tape is activated with heat and friction... I didn't know that -_-

Citadel paint you said? How much $$$ of paint is on those things?!
SAPERT1
Pretty cool
TheWoolyWolf
It reminds me of storm troopers
DasGabelhauser
More clone troopers, I think

Would be clone troopers. Based on how gritty and angular it is. Or borderlands.
VolkiirKnight
You spelled clone wrong
