Finished in Egyptian Gold
This custom PS5 DualSense controller came together in Egyptian Gold — an elegant, luxurious gold pearl over a blacked-out shell. Gamestyling built it on the same Alpha Automotive Paint system TSS ships to every customer: DTM primer-sealer for the black ground coat, Egyptian Gold basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat, all laid over a black ground coat so the color reads exactly the way it was built to.
Below is how the build came together — the prep, the products, and the steps you'd follow to chase the same finish on your own project.

Gamestyling ran this custom PS5 DualSense controller from prep through final clear with the same Egyptian Gold vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer — no shop-only products. The system is the DTM primer-sealer, Egyptian Gold basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat, plus urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep the ratios straight. The kit you'd buy is the kit on this build.
The Color: Why Egyptian Gold?
Egyptian Gold is an elegant, luxurious gold pearl. It's built for full-coverage color changes over black, and lays down on Alpha's pigment-controlled binder so it sprays clean — no striping or mottling — with strong UV resistance and crystal-clear pearl suspension.
Over a black ground coat, Egyptian Gold reaches full coverage and its richest, most luxurious tone — the black foundation is what the gold was designed to sit on for the intended hue and depth.

Egyptian Gold reads richest at full coverage over black — build even coats and let each flash so the gold stays uniform across every surface.
What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit
These are all the products included in the Egyptian Gold Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.
DTM Primer-Sealer (AP-7541) — AP-7541 DTM primer-sealer lays down the black ground coat — over black, Egyptian Gold reaches full coverage and its deepest, richest gold.
Egyptian Gold Basecoat — Egyptian Gold basecoat is the color coat — an elegant gold pearl that mixes with reducer and sprays for full coverage over black.
HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521) — AC-4521 HS Glamour clearcoat lays the deep, glassy gloss over the color and locks in UV and chip protection.
Alpha Urethane Reducer (AR-3000 Series) — Alpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a spray-ready ratio for even, controlled coats.
HS Activator (AH-7100 Series) — AH-7100 HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.
TSS Cheat Sheet — The TSS cheat sheet keeps every mix ratio and flash window at your fingertips through the whole job.

Step 1: Prep & Bodywork
Every finish this clean starts with the surface underneath. Gamestyling blocked the custom PS5 DualSense controller straight and knocked down the old finish with OptiGrit abrasives before a single coat went on. Skip this and Egyptian Gold will telegraph every flaw.
Step 2: DTM Primer-Sealer (Black Ground Coat)
A black ground coat of DTM primer-sealer is the foundation Egyptian Gold was built on — over black, the gold reaches full coverage and its intended, luxurious hue. Lay it uniform and let it flash before basecoat.
Step 3: Egyptian Gold Basecoat
Egyptian Gold basecoat mixes with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats until the gold comes up to full, even coverage across the shell. Let each coat flash — patience here is what keeps the color reading deep instead of blotchy.
Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat
HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it buries the color in gloss and gives you the wet, glassy finish you see on the finished build. This is also your UV and chip protection.
Step 5: Cut & Buff
Once the clear is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit and a buff brings Egyptian Gold to a mirror. Reference the TSS cheat sheet for the ratios and flash windows so nothing gets rushed.
