For those of you who are looking to add a little “zing” into those guitar controllers of yours while playing Activision‘s Guitar Hero on the Nintendo Wii, you might want to take a look at the details of how to mod your own controller.

Shuanfu recommends using paint, especially for plastic, so the colors won’t mix and bleed when you color in your artwork. Other commenters on the blog also suggested using Crayola Window Clingers when tracing any design you want, since they’re the peel and stick kind and won’t fall off after you’re done.

The project itself is fairly cheap in cost, he mentions. Markers and paint will cost an average of US$ 5 and US$ 10, while the tracing paper comes in a hefty package for under US$ 2. Everything else depends on the complexity of your artwork and how long you’re willing to spend time working on it.
