Photo Post: My WiiCube Controller

I’ve opened a half dozen controllers in my life and this is the first one I’ve ever gotten back together in working order so I’m ok with the not-quite-white color and thicker-than-expected coating.

I couldn’t find the acrylic dye so I went with Krylon Plastic paint. It dried better than just spray paint and doesn’t wear off but it doesn’t have that real controller feel. Still feels like someone painted it.

I wanted to try this with a regular controller first before investing in a WaveBird and cracking it open, although it’s pretty close to white already. It turned out pretty good I think. Click the image or the Flickr link below to see a few more shots.
