Why are so few people actually signing their controllers? : (

I mean, it's fine to have just a name tag or something, but I was kind of hoping for some signatures. However, I do understand that a lot of people don't want to write on their controller or anything like that. Just keep posting images, people!

yeah writing on the controller is something i dont care for. I used to write notes on it.(camp, be patient) but it gets smugged after a while and it looks not so nice.

Dark Cloud has a cool controller, I'll see if I can get him to post (or steal it from him)

You do not have to actually write on your controller, either because you don't want to or you can't write legibly on a black controller. Just use masking tape, an adhesive name tag, or a piece paper or something. It doesn't really matter, as long as it's a shot of your controller, with your name somewhere in the shot.

anyone know about a good paint that works on these controllers?

I feel like being creative

krylon paint for plastic. its a bit pricy when it comes to paints for plastics, but its worth it. I got some cheap Lowes brand paint for plastic and i'll say that I messed up a controller or two. I actually do not recommend painting it if you are specific about how the controller feels in ur hand, because it WILL feel diff and if u dont do it right, the heat from ur hands(if playing for a while) will start melting it off.

1) Sand it(its a bytch to sand)
2)Primer
3)Paint
4)Clear Coat(but not too much or the buttons wont work right)

I heard you had to let it sit for 7-10 days before you could use the controller again, maybe thats why it melted? And are those 4 things everything i need or just options?

well its more like 24-48hrs in a well ventilated room

for best results all 4 of them are required. The clear coat is pretty much a must and the thing that you can get away with not having is primer. But you HAVE to sand it

edit: aim me or soemthing if u have more questions, dont wanna be off topic in the thread, unless its okay :p

i think you should just have either thumbnails or links to the controllers; rather than having each picture up. It'll be best to do that now instead of later when it starts to be a problem.
