Hi all, i was wondering if anybody has bought one of these controller shells here:

http://www.access-gaming.com/agstore/pc/Basic-Controller-Shell-Glossy-Orange-62p282.htm

And can tell me if they are of decent quality. I was considering painting mine but to be honest im not at all confident in my ability to make it look good. Very Happy

Well you can always try to do it on yours i think a couple other members explained there process with how they did theirs on here in a tutorial i think.

I use to paint mine and everything too but fell in love with xcm silk controllers almost like not even having a controller in your hand.
http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/catalog/Smooth-As-Silk-Black--White-Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller-Shell-p-2519.html thats if you can afford the extra few bucks but i have never been to the site you listed but they do have some cheap deals on controller shells like there clear ones look cool but who knows how good the quality really is on them.

I've ordered controller shells before but not from the site you listed. I ordered a chrome one from a different site and it was pretty good quality. The chrome shell was VERY slick.

I have also painted my own controller before along with my console. If you do decide to paint it yourself, make sure you don't get cheap paint. I've had great results using Krylon's Paint for Plastics. You can get it at Walmart or any hardware store. With this paint there's no need for sanding or priming, at least I didn't sand or prime mine and they turned out great.

Hope this helps you!

Later,

SiK

Well i wanted to follow up, someone on another forum reassured me that they were ok so i went ahead and got the glossy dark blue and it arrived today. I am really surprised at how much better it is than i was expecting, the finish is fantastic, almost mirror-like.

Thanks for the help though guys, i appreciate it!
