Instructions
Repaint your controller's plastic shell. You can use standard industrial spray paint in any color you like. You can even put lines of duct tape over the controller and use multiple colors to create stripes and other patterns and effects. Painting the controller's shell is a cost-effective way of customizing your modded PlayStation 3 controller.
Replace your controller shell altogether. Many Internet retailers sell PlayStation 3 controller shells in a variety of colors. Some even sport words, images and even team logos.
Add special grips to your controller's buttons to improve your controller's performance in many titles, especially first-person shooters.
Put custom LED lights on your controller to indicate whether you are player 1, 2, 3 or 4. You can also purchase lights for your controller's thumb sticks.
Bring your controller to a professional for customization. This is a costly option, but professionals can make almost any changes you want to your PlayStation 3 controller, including additional modifications such as fast reload, auto burst and drop shot options for use in first-person shooter titles.
