How to: Paint your Gamecube Controller Cable
Update: After about a year most of the plastidip has come off, however, this is with only 1 coat of plastidip, and 1 coat of paint clearcoat. Next time I'm going to try with the official plastidip glossifier, and plenty of coats. This was mostly a test run.
Hey guys, I always thought a white gamecube controller with a red cable would look pretty cool, so I gave it a go! I made a tutorial so the rest of you could do it.

You'll need:
A triwing screwdriver: Available on Amazon.
Acetone: Home depot sells it.
Plastidip/flexidip of your choice: Available on Amazon or Home Depot (Sometimes).
Clearcoat/gloss finish: Home Depot sells it.
Tape, plastic bag.
If you found that something works better or have a question leave a comment!
Why plastidip?: Normal spray paint seems to just run off, and plastidip WITHOUT the clearcoat just scratches off too easily.
I believe Plastidip sells their own "glossifier" that MAY work better, but I didn't have any on me so I just stuck with normal clear coat. I'll keep this updated on what I find is wrong with the method I used.
Also, sorry for shitty focus. iPhones have a mind of their own.
