    Well this isn't technically a Case Mod, but I figured that I would post it and show you guys anyway. I am painting one of my Gamecube controllers. It is going to be red on the front and silver on the back. I will get my little worklog pics up tonight.

    OK here we go with the first round of pictures. These are basically the first part. I have almost all my painting done, but it is late and I don't feel like taking more pictures. So I will have the pictures of the colored shells in the morning, and the finished product the day after. Enjoy! Thanks to yes! for his great guide which has been flawless so far.

    The Supplies

    Don't Look its a naked controller

    Time for a cleaning

    This part is a little hard to see but you can kind of tell the controller was sanded.

    Primed and ready to go!

    More to come tomorrow

    Mlbpro,
    This is really cool! In its primed state, one piece of your game controller sort of looks like a visor for a Star Wars storm trooper. Anyway, this is going to look way better in red and silver than orange!

    Ack! Naked controller pics!

    I agree with Max, this is going to look way better in red and silver than the stock orange.
    Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

    Whoa, really nice painting job, especially the silver. Will you be showing us a photo of it reassembled and in action with your Shuttle? Doesn't it match your Shuttle now?

    Well it will probably match my shuttle, but it is a Nintendo Gamecube controller so it won't really be "in action" with my computer. But there will be photos tomorrow of it reassembled and ready to go.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that.

    Looking forward to more pictures.
