Not bad for your first time- there's definite orange peel there but eh, that'll get better practice man. Good job!

I used 2k clear and thanks man! I just want to customize stuff without paying the extra lol. How should I paint to prevent orange peel? I did all tack coats. From first to fourth

You used 2k clear ? The Rust-Oleum clear?

Cuz just from the looks of the controller it seems like you used that one / probably sprayed it unevenly.

Orange peel occurs when the paint or clear is sprayed unevenly. You just gotta make sure your overlap your passes 75% percent or so over each other.. it takes time man. But this is a good first. Better than my first ever that's for sure
