Good paint for painting controllers?

I searched. Didn't find nuttin'.

Anways, what is good for painting the controllers (spray paint) so that it won't rub off and stuff?

I've heard a lot of people saying not to because it will become faded and rub off, so that's why I want to know if there's a good kind of paint for doing it.

Krylon Fusion eh? I knew it was a great plastic paint, but are you sure it's not going to rub off with two hot, sweaty hands always touching and holding on to it?
DO NOT TAKE THAT SEXUALLY!

It doesn't rub off of lawn furnature with hot sweaty behinds sitting and rubbing on it. It'll even flex without cracking!

Actually, it may just rub off. It's done it to me on my SNESp, and it's a beeotch re-painting it. Newer controllers have a plastic sealant on it, and spray paint'll rub right off after a few heavy hours of Mario Kart.

What if you rub something like finger nail polish remover on the stuff before you paint it, the paint would stick better, wouldnt it? I mean, if you use something to help take the outter layer of plastic, enamel, whatever coating, then it would bond to bare, raw plastic, correct. I dont know, just an idea.

Sounds good though.

Sandpaper. It's your friend. Grab up some 1200 grit or finer and just scuff everything. Steel wool #00 works well too, but make sure you wear good gloves.
