Howshall I Paint Mysnes Controller?

[GOTHCLAWZ]

How shall I paint my SNES controller? I am ordering 3 acrylic paints with metallic effects.
The colours are Black, Gold and Silver. What kind of stencil designs should I put on my PAL Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller?

Here's a diagram to draw on in those 3 colours (if anybody can tell me where I can get acrylic Pink paint then please do!).

Full sized image to edit.

You could make it styled like an NG controller.

[triplenoob]

Why on earth will you paint a super nintendo controller? You should paint your computer first. That's sick.

[PrawDuhJee]

Yeah, I like that Tri-Force one. Do that.

Because the value increases if it looks good and it feels good to be using something on my favourite console that looks nice.

No double threads I think.

Wrong, the PS3 controller is.

How are you supposed to fill that in with MS-Paint?

Good idea, I should try to add that on the NG-Market. They make cheap NTSC replacement controllers, I should see if those controllers are perfect for playing with and then use them to paint on. It would mean cheap stock and more profit.

This is blasphemy!

I doubt this would be possible, but it looks cool:

[Armerad]

Paint it with the Newgrounds sunrays, with a black tank on the back. The colors you would need are Orange, Yellow, and black.

[Ryuzaki1]

Make this.

This one's fucking excellent, but the buttons looks terrible.

[Grim13x]

The blue one of course.

[GOTHCLAWZ]

If you guys send me your controller I'll paint it for you!!
I don't have any specialistic equipment for printing, I'm just a stencil artist (but I do print stickers).

Good design, my original idea was Orange. However I think everything should blend together better with the tank. Also, that original texture around the buttons would emphasize the fact that it's a Super Nintendo controller.

I could do that. I would need different shades of orange and good stencilling. I've done this kind of graphic in school just from using spray cans, however it would be easier if Tom Fulp provided me with wrap-around stickers to make it with.

That wouldn't work, I've done Newgrounds graphics before.

I might find it hard to make a Newgrounds bg colour, but that is the kind of simplistic design that I could make loads of had I had the right paint and mini stickers.

If I made them all UV I can see them better. Also, pink is my favourite colour. =D

Lol, I have 2 PAL consoles and I've bought an NTSC version (with full box and manuals) which will arrive either tomorrow or the day after.

What?

[GOTHCLAWZ]

Hey, I just PM'd Tom Fulp to ask if I can apply for selling on the Newgrounds store for this kind of stuff.

I am planning to buy the really cheap universal SNES controllers and spray them, I can test those controllers on my NTSC SNES too so functionality is guarantee-able.

Here's another design:

The grey is silver. The Yellow is Gold.

That's a retarded idea in my opinion.

I think you should paint the NG tank on the back. And some weird design on the front.

He runs a website, not an open field for a market place.

[Jonners]

I kinda like mine.

Then again, why wouldn't I?

[NeverHundred]

This came to mind. That link may be NSFW, and I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of stomach...

Okay.
1. Paint would get in the buttons making them stick down and annoying.
2. Paint rubbing off on your hands isn't pleasant.

[GOTHCLAWZ]

On this site I can buy universal (PAL, NTSC & JAP) SNES controllers for $4.90 each and be able to sell them for a higher price. However, if I am successful I will be able to afford the $200 minimum for buying 115 controllers at $1.75 dollars each. Making a total of $201.25 which is £123.64 + shipping for me.

This will mean that I can sell the controllers for $15 instead of $20.

True, but I would need NG support.

It's kind of plain... and the buttons all look the same. That's what was illogical about the American controllers.

Arrogant.

I AM TAKING THE COVERS OFF AND SPRAYING THE PARTS WITH ACRYLIC SPRAY PAINT YOU TIT!!

It won't rub off, acrylic paint is designed for this kind of stuff. It's what they use for racing car graphics and touch up paint.

I've tested my gold spray can, it looks perfect.

[YeOldeSierra]

Personally, I wouldn't paint a classic controller, such as the SNES one. If you have a spare Xbox 360 controller or something similar, there's one for you. Plus, there's a load of YouTube tutorials on how to take apart the 360 controller - doubt there's many on the SNES controller.

You could paint a PS2 controller, a PS1 or something - not a rare or valuable one.

[Mechabloby]

Let me chip-in with an opinion: that's terribly sad.

[CryogenChaos]

Based on the R.O.B. Launchers from Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

You mixed up the colors on the buttons.

You bastard.
