Customized My GameSir Faceplates To Match My Setup
I’ve always liked custom setups and graffiti-style art, so I wanted something that actually matched the rest of my setup instead of looking stock.
I actually did something similar to my previous controller, the Manba One V2, but this time I wanted to do it properly and learn the actual process instead of just drawing directly onto the shell and hoping for the best 😭
I know this probably isn’t everyone’s taste and some people are definitely gonna say I ruined two perfectly good faceplates 💀 but thankfully I’m the one that paid for them lol. I wanted something that actually matched my setup and art style and honestly I had a lot of fun doing this and I’m really happy with how they came out and that's all that matters.
The black faceplates definitely came out cleaner in my opinion, but I still like how the yellow one looks too. I wanted them to feel hand-drawn and imperfect instead of looking factory made.
Honestly I already know I’m probably buying more faceplates to customize because I liked how these two came out way more than I expected 😭
What I used:
- 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper
- 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Microfiber cloth
- Painter’s tape
- Rust-Oleum Adhesion Promoter
- Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2X Flat White
- Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2X Clear Gloss
(I know there's another clear coat I can use but it becomes useless after a few days and I rather not waste my money)
- Posca markers
