Xbox custom paint for fun

After I repaired the console thanks to all the people in the forum who help me with the chip and the installation of the new HDD I decided to make a custom paint on the case, I have to take it apart to install the modchip so why not do something and this came up. Is not perfect but I like it to change the damn black.




For those asking about the paint I use, look at the pic.
I use the vinyl paint as a coat over all the case. After that then paint with the Painter touch 2X that is primer and paint, I love that paint leave it a few days to set it up nice on plastic.

 

Nice, looks very clean! What was the procedure? Been thinking of doing something like this for a while.

 

That looks awesome. What paints did you use?

 

Yeah, result is very clean. Im curious about the paint and the method too. I will need to do some console paint job too in the near future.

 

Very nice looking!

 

Nice unique choice of colors! I'd also like to know which kind of paint you used. Would love to see some more pictures

 

Nice job, it really looks good. I used to do custom xbox's. Makes me want to do another one. You should do some custom green led's in the controller port's. The power/eject is green already so that will look good the way it is. PM me if you need a tutorial on how to install controller port led's.

 

Yes with led in the port will look great but that mean take it apart again and that is something I dont have the feeling to do again maybe in the future.

 

Yeah I here you. Anyway, great job. I used to use krylon plastic paint on mine. It dries in like 10 minute's.

 

Everyone in the world hates on Krylon Fusion. Everyone. But I love it and can't recommend enough. Glad I'm not the only one.

 

I love it dude! Nice work!

 

That thing is beautiful :love-struck:

 

Well what else can I say except:

 

Paint or use a silver sharpie on the XBOX DVD Bezel and itll look real nice

 

Nice looking 'box ! I will see it right with a brillant varnish on some spots (like on the jewel disc).
Nice job anyway.

 

What does the vinyl paint do?

 

i really like the colors.

great job!

 

I've a painted a few consoles and all i have ever used is cheap $2 cans from the hardware store, no need for fancy specialty plastic paints.

my guess would be a glossy finish, rather than a matte one perhaps?
