I posted this guide in the comments section on my post on /r/smashbros , just in case anyone is interested.
Take apart the controller, obviously, and separate the top and bottom shells. Use a tri-wing screwdriver, I found mine on amazon for less than a dollar (shipping included, the price is subject to go up). I've read about people using a small phillips screw driver, and sort of forcing the screws to turn. If that works for you, great. I wouldn't try it, though. Why damage the screws when you can do it the right way?
Good luck and post pictures! /r/customcontrollers & /r/smashbros
i dont think you need any liquid sander, i'd just was the case with soap and water, dry well then wipe down with isopropyl alcohol.
Hit it with a plastic primer (white so you dont need as much paint to cover up the black. this will also help smooth out the texture so you get a smoother shinier finish

get some krylon fusion paint (its maid for plastic specifically) and spray it. it should already be pretty smooth and glossy if you want to got a step further get a spray on clearcoat gloss http://www.amazon.com/Krylon-2444-Fusion-Plastic-Clear/dp/B001TNMWBM you can add a couple layers of this to help protect the paint give you a super glossy finish.
Yes, there are topcoats specifically for blocking UV. Here's an example.
This would be the one!

Make sure it the FUSION kind. I have not put this items in my tank yet, but I have read on multiple forums that the ingredients in the Fusion spray become inert after the cure for 48 hours. I've seen fish keepers use this spray in their aquarium on separators before too. I'm letting mine cure for longer than that just to be on the same side.
I also did two coats on everything!
You could also seal it with a clear spray when you're done, just to be sure.
i haven't tried it myself but my research found this to be aquarium safe.
Thank you! Yes, I use acrylics and then I spray it all with a Clear coat spray paint for plastic. I personally recommend this one if you are intersted.
n_n No problem! I hope you have fun. Please please please share how you paint him when you get to him.
