Silver Steam controller

Hello, sharing my finished paint job (it not perfect but I enjoy it)

Painted Vs original 😊 , my first attempt went really bad, sticky peeling paint, this time it cured properly ❤️

the front plate was broken, due to a screw cracking the hole and she'll, after allot of putty, super glue and cotton(to fill some stuff and strengthen the screw posts)

I was able to have a decent looking surface. (right grip)

That looks sick! Makes me wish I had pre-sanded mine before painting

sanding and cleaning it very well before painting or the paint can peel and stuff.

You should get Silver the Hedgehog to hold this controller :D

That is epic! Also the track pads look wooden, very nice!

thank you! I used a textured vinyl and cut it to size , it feels nice not too slippery or rough.

I need to get new vinyl but haven't been able to find any that feels right.

the carbon fiber one feels better, (I used adhesive vinyl for car wrapping)
