Anyone paint balltops?
(1/1)
Dervacumen:
I've got a couple of Ms. Pac/Galaga reunion sticks but they are of course red, and I want them either white, black, or purple.  Anyone ever paint these things?
NinjaEpisode:
The only way I could even remotely see this working due to all of the oils and junk that a person's hands have, would be to paint the balltop and then coat the thing in some kind of resin but even then I have a hard time believing it would look decent.

There are joysticks with different colored balltops out there... slickstick to name just one.
Kremmit:
Happ Super handles fit the Reunion, so GroovyGameGear's VersaBall handles will fit, as will SlikStik's handles.

But if you still don't see what you need, a very quick look here found me these two threads:

Replacing the stick is probably the way to go, but if you're hell-bent on trying to paint it you might try using vinyl dye.  People have used it on keyboards and mice before with good results.  Here's an article on it.
