FRuMMaGe's Guide to Wiimote Surgery

[FRuMMaGe]

Great thread! Repped for the good walkthrough, I can't wait to take mine apart and apply some paint.

Try to use paint made for plastic. I use Warhammer paints :lol:

That is a well explained tutorial FRuMMaGe. Nicely done.

I'll be spray painting mine tonight since i need to buy some spray paint:lol:
Does it matter what type of spray paint it is?
Im going for Lime Green and Saphire as my first two

I'll post pics up afterwards

Frummage step 15 is a real help, i went crazy over that speaker the first time spray painted my wiimotes

Not too much. Try and get some for painting plastic or models.

Good to hear it helped. I only actually realised I could do that when I was making this tutorial :lol:

i've sprayed 1 controller so far and the faceplate for my guitar hero controller to match. now i just need to buy more paint for the other controller. it's pretty simple, and as long as you're carefull you won't have a problem with the clips. the only thing that is any kind of challenge is not forgetting where you put all the parts while the paint was drying :lol:

Ok then.

Also, I PMed i0n about getting this thread stickied but he hasn't got back to me yet. Considering the amount of PMs I got asking me how I sprayed my wiimote I would have thought that this was popular enough :lol:

 

[*Gymnast*]

[smyth]
