Ok, /diy/ this is my first time posting here, I'm a long time lurker and I have a question

I custom paint Xbox 360 remote and ps3 remotes and even the counsels and I'm trying to find a good online fourm to get advice and tips and maybe buy materials but I've had no luck finding one, can I have some help?

Will dump some stuff I've painted in the meantime

I use people's remotes, they give me like 20-30 dollars and I paint it using existing parts, I'm looking for like decals and custom LEDs and buttons, I've done solid colors already
