I like them, but the maker should also make the same thing on the 360 so they would match.]]>Oct 18th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/

If it were baby pink with hello kitties I'd reconsider. Although the irony would be tremendously delicious when you work your way up a CoD match with one of those.

The only viable long-term solution, in my view, would be to dye your own polyesther and to mold your own buttons and inserts. ColorWare claims they have their own "trade secret" process built on automotive ingredients. I have no idea what it is, but I concur that the straight-up automotive supplies don't last very long.]]>Oct 18th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/ It's pretty awesome.]]>Oct 18th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/
Thanks for the suggestion!

But, curiosly, I think Fusion was the last one I actually tried, this time only on 360 controller's inserts. I have foregone clearcoat this time, as it seemed that Fusion is formulated with a little hint of single-stage. Maybe I should have added a coat of clear, but my concern was that, as with most "no-prep" formulas, the evaporant in clearcoat may weaken the paint underneath.

Anyway, while the finish looked great, glossy, and durable, over time its bond weakened and it became possible to easily scratch/peel it of with a fingernail.

Maybe Fusion would work better on the controller's shell/housing itself. Those inserts are really slick -- probably made to repel grease and dirt, and, incidentally, any paint.]]>Oct 18th 2009 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.flickr.com/photos/4apples/3956884032/sizes/o/in/set-72157620817140451/

This doesn't look like 'varying shades of pink' to me!

Maybe you should play with yourself less, Darren!]]>Oct 18th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/]]>Oct 18th 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/Oct 18th 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/homemade-pink-xbox-360-controller-makes-the-ladies-say-heyyy/dissembling (pretense): pretending with intention to deceive.]]>Oct 20th 2009 3:05PM
