Step 4: Prime and paint
Follow any of the other painting instructables to get a good finish on the parts. The most important thing here is to mask off the areas that shouldn't have paint on them. For the guide button, that means any of the green plastic below where the putty is. If that gets a lot of paint build up on it, it won't move up and down properly anymore. It isn't quite as important with the controller piece, but it is a good idea to keep paint off the surfaces which need to match up with the other parts of the controller shell.
A couple coats of primer, followed by a coat or two of color and finished with two or three coats of clear will do the trick. I did a light wetsanding between all coats.
