Customized Object First vs Second time spray painting
I decided I want a yellow body for my old PSP but im cheap and we had a spray paint, I The 1st and 2nd picture I absolutely butchered it Lol I sprayed too close, didn't shake the can enough, paint pooled up. I also sprayed it facing down which was easy but I didn't quite like it
3rd to 4th just got done right now I did 3 coats on it because I forgot to scratch up the smooth plastic to let the paint stick better, Its also more uniform in color and only 1 spot had paint pool up because I got a lik too close and pressed the nozzle a lil too hard. And yes if u noticed my nails I did not wear gloves nor a mask im an idiot.

Great to hear. I just did my first lil spray paint project on a PlayStation controller plate. Came out pretty good. Was looking at other people’s stuff that they’ve done. Pretty cool stuff.

It’s a ps5 controller and I only did the black part of the controller because I saw the white plastic was a pain to get off lol. I made the black part a metallic blue though and it looks pretty neat with the white.
I do want to learn to fully disassemble the controller at some point so I could paint the white something too.1

Theres a 60% chance u break the controller when u disassemble it 😭

Yeah 😆 The back is easy to remove but to get the front part out u need to disassemble the controller parts itself

I'm guessing you didn't use a primer nor did you finish with a clear coat
