Put your controller down on a flat surface.

Unscrew all of the screws using a Torx T8 screwdriver. There are 7 in all. One is hidden where the battery pack would be under a sticker.
Remove the sticker and unscrew that screw.
Now put all the screws somewhere safe so that they don't get lost.
Put the action buttons facing you and push the joysticks to separate the backplate.
Now your controller is apart. You can paint or LED or mod from here.
