How to Disassemble a Guitar Hero SG Controller for Painting

Step 5 Painting

Once you've completed all the previous steps you'll have a bunch of separate plastic pieces to paint. You won't have to worry about masking things off because it all separates in the end. I'm not paint expert, but I'd suggest spraying. The first time around I used purple enamel, which came out with a cool finish, but looked sloppy because it was hastily brushed on. The next time around I used some rust-o-leum spray paint that was specially formulated to create a "hammered metal" finish. The paint kinda dimples up while its drying and ends up looking pretty cool. Either spray or brushed, you're likely to have more luck if you put some time into sanding the plastic somewhat before painting.
