I've got a bag full of old video game controllers that I want to refurbish and sell as custom colored accessories, any tips on spray painting plastics?

HERE'S A PHOTO.

They're in the drying phase, but I'm happy with it! And don't worry about the unclean lines, I wanted a spray effect on the colorful controller.

You could order online if not in a big hurry. Better to do it well than twice. Bongo Prophet Apr 2016 #4

Make sure you clean them very, very well or nothing will stick to them. eom zalinda Apr 2016 #2
