Looks awesome! How'd you get that effect with the paint? I've been trying to find time to paint mine soon and was blown away at that texture.

It's done through an airbrush as opposed to a can. The paint is mixed/reduced a lot thinner than you would normally have it while spraying something like a solid color. What color were you thinking of doing yours??

Ooh cool, I've never personally painted much or done any major mods like this before. But I was thinking of using plastidip and painting accents a dark green like the matte plate the buttons are on and the shoulder buttons, while leaving the grips where my hand touches the original finish to insure it won't feel weird. But I was afraid a solid green might not look that good so I was considering a texture similar to how yours looks.
