i love how the xbox one controller has all its hardware isolated from the case, it makes really easy to paint the case since all the hardware is keep together
when u want to mod your controller to show off your friends but can't because you are too lazy or too poor to have the materials for it. THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW!
this vid is 5 years old but for anyone watching be sure to apply paint Light and thin in quick passes rather than as heavily as demonstrated. this will lead to a nicer Finish and will dry quicker.
heres a wicked trick. Use plati-dip clear instead of a clear coat. the get a scuff like rubber surface. I was trying to make a soft touch faceplate but this i think is so much nicer and way more sticky. i hate gloss on the finish of a controller.
Hey there Great video💯 I recently did this to my controller and also added some old parts from another old broken controller I had it works really well and looks really nice😊
Ok Peter Parker thanks for the tips that controller is sweet btw. I have all of the materials and will be painting one for myself and one for my son. Subbed and liked.
The paint itself isn't really misleading with the dry to the touch-statement. The reason yours did not dry is because you have such a fat layer of paint and you only paint it once. If you'd done 3-4 much lighter layers every half an hour - hour, it would be dry to touch by 20 minutes. This way you'd also prevent overspray, but oh well. Your way is much faster though, and for a DIY project like a controller, it'll probably work just fine most of the times.
Yeh, I'm kinda painting if I have a whole day free. Go paint, watch UA-cam for an hour, new layer, an hour on UA-cam, new layer etc. That way you get even layers and no overspray, but of course, it does take longer.
allso heat the can of spray paint in some hot water helps the spray when under pressure.NB make sure obviously to dry the spray can properly before you use it to avoid and wet on the paint .
Iv done this before with a 360 remote. It turned out good but the clear coat came off along with the paint eventually. I don’t want to do this just for the paint to wash off!
No, I got a different DIY method for my XBOX 360 Controller: You need some long and round piece of hard plastic. Heat up one end of it to make it deformable. Then you can press it into the head of the special screw. If it is hardened you can use this imprint as an improved screwdriver. It may not last long but it is enough for some screws :)
great video could you do a video on how you do your stencils that would really help me out cos I'm trying to mod a case and I'm struggling and making mistakes
You just have to be good with your hands, I'm fourteen and taking metal working and constriction technology classes and I've learned to do this type of stuff from scratch
For the security screws (usually torx) before i got the right screwdriver i used to remove them as i can or just try to remove the tiny bit in the middle (because i have a classic torx) :) and to screw them again i used to replace th screw by a normal screw about the same size or using a metal saw and modify the screw to be able to use a flat screwdriver ^^ (pardon my bad english, not my language ^^')
Also keep in mind folks if your paint isn't 100 fucking percent dry before you apply the clear coat, the clear coat is going to dry first, and make your paint take on a look reminiscent of a cold sack of nuts in the pool or a patch of dry mud in the savanna. (You don't get to pick they look the same).
DIY Tech I mean that you firstly apply the grey painting to the surface then cover up with a blue painting. That made me confused. Thanks for the reply!
I've been painting a face peace but the paint keeps rippleing and I'm not sure what's going on. I sanded it back down and painted again and got the same result
Painting the actual console is even easier. I painted mine black last night. Either way, do not use a course grade sandpaper. A fine or extra fine steel wool and some rubbing alcohol is enough to remove grime and get it ready for paint. After scuffing with the steel wool, clean with more alcohol and use a lint free towel to wipe it down with. Follow his directions/recommendations for the rest. Btw... To paint your console, remove the black base with a flat screwdriver (popping it loose), then you'll need a Torx 10(non security, but a T10 security will work so if you have to buy one buy the security...you never know when you'll need one) and remove the 7 green screws from the bottom and the top will come loose. Keep in mind the very back doesn't come off, so you don't have to worry about your hdmi ports and whatnot.
So are the bumper and triggers removable to be painted as well? I really do not want to leave my mine black. If I am painting it I would like to have those included too.
Why does this guy look like the most confident guy ever lol😂😂
Kevin batizjr. He gets hella puss my guy
Kevin batizjr. Dude that's true
because he is :)

Armando92 Yeah not hard!
Yea but I had a hard time getting the screws out
for the paint to dry faster, you must put light coats at first then finishing the rest.
Now thats a perfect definition of DIY
DIY Tech You're a perfect definition.
This guy seems really nice and did a really good job on the video thanks for helping have a great day

Mr Modder it’s like $10
I was like you once then I had a realization to just get a job!
I’m in quarantine so I can’t either
You can use a small flat head screwdrivers that can take apart the security screws
something reminds me of fallout
ALPHA JBones it reminds me of sweden and also fallout
it is fallout. he also painted his pc fallout themed
Hey I like how your always smiling it makes me happy
Ditec is the most underrated channel
Love your DIY vids man great work!
nice color scheme looks really good
Don't even own an Xbox, but this was real entertaining. May have to do this on a controller for my PC.
Ben Longjohn You can use Xbox controllers with PC too if you have windows. I bet you have windows.
you have a fan from India. love your vids.
+PandaTV Plus Hello!
good shit brother. love your channel. hope to do something similar in the future.
Who noticed spider man has a UA-cam channel?!?!?
Who noticed you have no subs
I wish I had a chicken parm sub.
Ryan Woods stfu
@@sgs_demo1825 lol look at ur own

Thank you this helped me out so muck I customized mine already

Hey there Great video💯 I recently did this to my controller and also added some old parts from another old broken controller I had it works really well and looks really nice😊
Is the texture of the controller good?
U. Can use a flat head or anything similar for the pry tool
A way to get cool designs on your controller is to hydro dip it.
its an ikea controller :D :p
Ok Peter Parker thanks for the tips that controller is sweet btw. I have all of the materials and will be painting one for myself and one for my son. Subbed and liked.
Welcome to the channel!
Hey this looks cool what do you use to clean the case?
Thanks, definitely gunna be my next project
Those are some nice colours

Håkon Ah yeah, I'm no professional. Still good suggestions for people like me who don't really want to spend 4 hours painting lol

More like A receding Michael Mathers LOL

"You need a specific screwdriver for the security screws"
Well, the first point is already the problem. I didn't got such a screwdriver... :)
Kommentierer Got a hammer? Could just wack it a few times and see if that works
No, I got a different DIY method for my XBOX 360 Controller:
You need some long and round piece of hard plastic. Heat up one end of it to make it deformable. Then you can press it into the head of the special screw. If it is hardened you can use this imprint as an improved screwdriver. It may not last long but it is enough for some screws :)
This helped a lot thanks!!!!! 😁
great video could you do a video on how you do your stencils that would really help me out cos I'm trying to mod a case and I'm struggling and making mistakes
+SUPERJED TV Yeah! When I learn a few different ways to do it I'll share
How does the controller feel after painting it? Does the paint chip?
Was the controller vault/fallout themed
I wouldn’t risk it cause this dud knows what he’s doing I ain’t risking it I’m only ten

What grit sand paper you use?

(You don't get to pick they look the same).
Why did paint twice with different colors on the controller? Btw, what did sanding paper you usually use?
+Xiaofan Lin Sandpaper doesn't really matter as long as it's scratched up a little bit, and I just like the two colored look :)
DIY Tech I mean that you firstly apply the grey painting to the surface then cover up with a blue painting. That made me confused. Thanks for the reply!
+Xiaofan Lin Oh the first layer was primer!
What screwdriver did this guy use?
This man is legendary !
Do you need to sand it?
I've been painting a face peace but the paint keeps rippleing and I'm not sure what's going on. I sanded it back down and painted again and got the same result
Can you put it back together right away or do you have to wait 30 days to cure?
He looks like all three Spiderman actors combined
Whats the name of the screwdriver head thats used to take out the controllers screws
Its a T8 screwdriver
You should make the joy sticks red then it would look like Cyclops. :D
Good video bro
Thanks for this vid I’m gonna customize the white controller I got with my Xbox to give to my cousin cause his is getting worn out
waiting for a Playstation 4 controller...
NICE VIDEO M8.
+zezo clashing I don't have a Playstation 4 maaaan
DIY Tech is it possible to paint ps4 controller? And 360?
Unknown Name yes, but it's a little bit different.
zezo clashing gotcha. Thanks
nice blue color...but dont like yellow design..
Before painting did you sand it, and then use water? Would it be a soft sandpaper?
+JuliaNII Velasquez Yeah you just sanded off the glossy finish already on it, then wipe off the dust with some water.
Painting the actual console is even easier. I painted mine black last night. Either way, do not use a course grade sandpaper. A fine or extra fine steel wool and some rubbing alcohol is enough to remove grime and get it ready for paint. After scuffing with the steel wool, clean with more alcohol and use a lint free towel to wipe it down with. Follow his directions/recommendations for the rest. Btw...

Keep in mind the very back doesn't come off, so you don't have to worry about your hdmi ports and whatnot.
That's amazing 😍😍😍
now 3 years pass, how the paint resist with time?
He looks a little like the old eminem without the blond hair!😂
So are the bumper and triggers removable to be painted as well?
I really do not want to leave my mine black.
If I am painting it I would like to have those included too.
+AudienceKillerGaming I didn't attempt to remove them myself but I'm sure they're removable.
+DIY Tech Thank you for the answer back!
Hmmm alright I guess I will hunt for a video where someone has taken them off.
I know im a little bit late, but why do i need a special screwdriver?
Because they are a special type of screw! Security Torx if I remember correctly
Why not
Dude, this controller is totally Fallout Themed, you need to add 111 to the battery cover.
+Sargent Rooster Hah yeah I guess I should
what if i just want to spray over some bits? do i have to sand it as well?
You never have to do anything, it just might effect the finished product
oh, okay :D thanks for the response
Thx it helped alot
What grit of sandpaper did you us
how long did you wait between primer and paint?
Wait for it to be dry to the touch between all coats
1.59 legit felt like a lost my legs
you guys need to turn down the loud background music it is not pleasant at all!
I’m about to do this with my spare controller
How long did it dry before u put tape on iy
12+ hours
rip to all the kids who just ruined their controllers
how long paint will last?
He didn’t cover the headphone jacks with tape
First off you didn’t let the coats dry long enough... and you put the coats on to thick. And you should’ve used adhesive paint sticks better
He literally says he made a mistake and didn't wait long enough
How much would you charge for a custom job n
I don't really do custom controllers for people, only PCs :P
Don’t paint your controller like he did, do light strokes from a distance to keep from getting too much paint on it.
Any ideas for 780t yet?
+John Dixon Yeah! Painting takes a while though.
top amigo
ty that is simple and ez
Could this work for xbox one controllers?
OF COURSE IT WOULD
If you mean the original Xbox One then, yes
I never make this kind of comment but your really handsome:D thanks for the help

Painting is hard sometimes. Many light coats with a decent amount of time in between is key
Your paint is better than mine I can't copy you.
great video just hate the music its too loud
the Damn middle one will NOT come off
The controller cant get more Swedish
Man so may videos and so many shitty paint jobs. Blind leading the blind.
will the back of the remote lose its grip with the paint?
Ottmar Navarez welle yea
