How to customize your PS5 with hand-painted controllers

Sony made it easy to customize your PS5 controllers with minimal effort and funds.

The dual-tone color of the PlayStation 5 and its controllers has been divisive among the gaming community, with some loving the look and others loathing it.

Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to make your PS5 controller your own, thanks to its removable face plate!

The only items you'll need are some acrylic paints of your color choice and an airbrush. If you don't wish to splurge on the latter, you can absolutely use a standard brush, although an airbrush will provide a more even and just better-looking result.

You should also consider a varnish to spray over the paint to protect it, but it isn't strictly necessary.
