Pretty hot. Makes me want to do one myself. Wonder how hard it is to get apart.

 

[Marvel]

Sexy.

 

[TheContact]

that's awesome, I wouldn't have done white though with the option to choose any color

 

[Alpende]

But what does it look like with all white buttons? That'd be more awesome.

 

[Skeff]

I was super excite there was going to be a white SKU but then I scrolled down to the painting pictures :-( Still very nice looking.

 

[gofreak]

It looks hot.

I wonder if an official version would keep the black and white, though.

I wouldn't mind a white trackpad, black grips underneath.

 

[hEist]

gimme a how-to. (which sort of paint!)

grey destroys it IMO. gaffer posted this a while ago.

 

[SuperSah]

That looks nice.

 

[Rad-]

I have my doubts that the paint will stick that well with sweaty hands.

The pad of choice for Imperial Stormtroopers.

 

[chadskin]

Î'd buy 20 of those in a heartbeat.

 

[Dennis]

:O

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Best looking controller ever.

 

[Slayer-33]

Black looks way better

Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter (to help the paint stick) and Krylon Fusion for the white and clear.

Make sure after taking your controller apart to either:
A) lightly sand the plastic
B) prime the plastic with a special plastic primer
or
C) do both.
Assuming you're using spray paint, some are made specifically for plastic (Krylon & Rustolium make a number of plastic paint) and others are multi-surface. With a plastic paint there's no need to prime, but I'd still give the controller a very light sanding just to remove any imperfections and help form a better bond. With multi-surface or automotive paint you will need to sand and/or prime. Failure to do so will result in peeling & chipping and poor color representation.
As with all sprays, apply very light coats. The number one mistake most people make is to go spray-happy and try to get the object covered in one or two coats. By doing this your paint won't dry properly and you'll be left with runs. Just spray a very light coat, wait an hour and repeat. Using four or five light coats will give you a much nicer finish.

[Joel Was Right]

White looks a lot better than the grey

 

[Kokonoe]

So where's the translucent one?

 

[krameriffic]

Looks like cookies and creme. Makes me want some ice cream.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Just going from those pics it looks better than all the official versions. Standard and coloured ones too.

 

[Groof]

Oh god that's so sexy.
And that grey one.

MY GOD.

 

[Andrefpvs]

This is much better than the red and blue they chose and a great throwback to the original PlayStation controller.

 

[Bumhead]

I suspect we'll get an official variant of this when the VitaTV launches in the West instead of the white DS3 currently bundled with it in Japan.

 

[Vizzeh]

Might have to do this myself, altho reluctant to do so, as I have ordered the killzone megabundle, with 2 DS4's - both are going to be black, I wouldnt mind 1 a different colour, but as far as I know theres no option to change.

 

[Eggbok]

So beautiful !!

 

[Yes Boss!]

Gonna take some used to getting to the two-tone of the controller. No more Ceramic White :-(

Is this real?

I remember when they had that survey to pick a color for the DS3, and the top color was overwhelmingly PS1 grey (followed by glow in the dark).

 

[Pyccko]

:O

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. I've been saying for years they should do old school PS1 grey controllers. Has my dream finally come true?

 

[Skyzard]

Is the grey one official? I'll take!

Spoiler

1, bloody expensive

I don't think so.

:'(

A very good fake...maybe it's just something they're thinking about at least. Once everyone has bought all their controllers Sony like to milk, so 1-2 years if it is coming.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Is the grey one official?

I don't think so.

 

[Iacobellis]

I'll wait until broken controllers go up on eBay before I do this.

 

[bbalde]

Grey is the new black !
Good think I never jump in with new consoles on launch, hopefully they will release others colors of the coonsole too.
Actually with 3D printers people can start doing their own mod.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

This is much better than the red and blue they chose and a great throwback to the original PlayStation controller.

Sony should release this colour ASAP.

 

[ICPEE]

:O

Someone Photoshop a grey PS4 with this controller. SEX

 

[Ashes]

Spoiler

1, bloody expensive

It was made by someone on gaf after taking requests.

 

[Seanspeed]

:O

I like both. The white PS4 mockup in general is just hot. As was the grey one.

So much better than the standard black hardware.

These controller face swaps also remind me of how awful the penis hand grips look.

 

[Rocky]

Ok, this will be my second DS4 controller. I hope this will be available sooner rather than later.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

This is much better than the red and blue they chose and a great throwback to the original PlayStation controller.

Wow!

 

[Sojgat]

:O

This thing is beautiful.

Sony should make it happen, seems like a no-brainer.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Oh I thought it would be an official SKU.

Disappointed.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Looks great, hopefully Sony will release one

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice fan mod

 

[the androgyne]

I think Sony will either release one just like this, or an all white one in an eventual Vita TV & DS4 bundle. Hope so cause i really like it!

 

[LudwigB]

White is very nice but grey looks better.
