Custom Paint Jobs! - Xbox Controller

[Caramel]

I'm going to get pictures up just as I finish.

I decided to spray paint my refurb xbox 360 controller because it wasn't looking so hot, figured since I only got it for 25$ CAD I'd do something cool with it.

I'm having some trouble spray painting the black racing stripes though on my bumblebee style colorscheme. I also tried to make an autobot logo stencil on the back but so far the spray paint is just seeping around the paper/painters tape, leaving a not so hot look.

Anyone else do similar things? Spray painting computer cases? etc?
Any tips for next time or maybe even this project?

Pics up very soon.

When I was doing the RROD fix on my 360, I decided to paint the case, but I couldn't decide on a color scheme I liked so I put it back together in primer . I think it's kind of cool, gives it that 'hardcore' look.

For stencils:
Give it a quick coat of the base paint once you lay the stencil. It seals it down, and if it does seep, it makes no difference since its already that color anyway.



Any make sure that whatever youre doing you do it in several very thin coats
