Raised the stakes on a spray paint practice run, and decided to hit a Sega Genesis controller.
This is in preparation for custom painting a Gameboy Color with a refractive paint.




Truthfully, I like how this came out, even if the gold paint itself looks like crap.

And yes, the buttons all work fine.

Looks okay to me.

Looks like the end result of a good idea to me! Other than a few pre-existing dings, this looks like it came straight out of the factory.

Glad to hear that you guys like it.
I have a good while to practice before everything I need for the Gameboy Color arrives, So, hopefully that works out.

Also:
What made this a "Bad Idea", was the level of doubt that I had that I would actually do well.
I highly suspected that I would completely botch this, as I did with some of my previous practice attempts on bottle caps, and candy tins.

Of course, bad idea's don't always end badly, now do they?

Looks pretty legit, actually.
