Alright, I need some expert's advise on this. This person told me to use Rit Dye Liquid, to put the Controller parts in the dye, and I was wondering if this product is good to use? He told me to put in the parts for 25 minutes and it should be dried about an hour or so. And If it is good, should I sand it? This is what this dye looks like. This is a serious question, I need some help before I waste my money on this and the dye is shit.

Are you trying to paint a controller, or controller parts? If I were you i'd just spray paint it.

Use spray paint that is for plastics, and plus then get some clear coat gloss to finish, and you'll be good.

Hm, that might work. I'll take your word for it, lol. Thanks and +Rep..

And another question. Which spray paint do I use first? Do I use the Spray Paint for Platic's first then the clear coat gloss after I use the spray paint? And how long before I do the clear coat?

Alright, thanks. And I will post some picture's when I'm done. I did post some, they were from 2 to 3 years ago, if you go to my account and look at the recently made forums. I just asked to make sure because it's been a long time since I did, lol. And I didn't remember what I used.
