    ok i know this isnt the right section but hell i only really post here in this forum as i have a m18x.. so i thought id drop it here and if it gets moved it gets moved..
    (hopefully with a permanent redirect link every one can see lol)

    ok so I did not like the stock black of the ps4 controller,.. top glossy and the bottom.. and off black.. like a weak attempt to make it look like carbonfiber .. but it looks more like when the mold
    came out for the bottom they wrapped it in a wire mesh real quick..

    so i gave mine a make over..

    That would be a cool candidate for hydrographics, too. I am assuming you are taking it apart, so that might work really well and be very durable.

    I assume you have to use a durable paint so people's hands wont wear through. I do really like the white and black look though. Much nicer than if it was all white anyway which is ideal since I doubt painting the touch sensor would be a good plan.
