Paint?

[Rellizate]

Hey,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to be posting in.

Anyway, I was wondering what type of paint should I use for paint my Portables case, and the controller for my Xbox's case. They are both plastic. Also, do I need any type of Primer? I would really like to use spray paint, is that an option?

Regards,
Dom Hudson.

Spray paint is a must for smooth painting, so yes, use it. For primer, it's nice for forming and if you are using any sealant or bondo, I would put a few coats of primer on primarily. I've heard Krylon is a good paint, but I use anything I can find at home depot. In other words, it doesn't matter to much.

i recommend the normal krylon primer then krylon spraypaint, and clear coat after it, i used clear coat on my GC controller and it feels like its painted way better than my portables

There needs to be a sticky about paint, we've had several paint related questions in the last couple weeks and a bunch are repeats.

I'm not taking a blow at the author, I just didn't want to make a new thread.

I'll take a blow at him - there's like five posts on this page alone that have the word "paint" in the title. How hard is it to read 2-3 threads with the word "paint" in the title? I don't think there needs to be a new sticky, how about we write something in one of the sticky's we have?

best paint i have used recently for consoles that goes on well and looks good is cheapo color place matte paint, i used the matte black and its awesome, dries really fast and a few light coats looks exelent and holds up well
