    Does anyone have any ideas about this? I bought some cool Decals for my 360 controller and was going to use spray craft varnish for to seal them on after I've applied it (Like this Link). Ideas? Whats best for this?

    The problem is the varnish will peel unless you chemically treat the plastic on the case.

    You could try a plastic clear lacquer spray, but the unit is going to look shiny as hell.

    You have to becareful what kind of varnish you use because it might react badly with the decals, find a good matt finish spray if you don't want a slippery finish.
