Ok guys thought i would try something different instead of LEDS or windows in the case modding, so I tried to take up painting, as of right now its just the Face plate, the paint is by Testors model paint. The color is Purple - licious, who comes up with these names...lol Just give me your thoughts , I just painted the Face plate, so far,

THings I might try or do ,

Painting the case to match, leaving the xbox 360 logo white and just finish painting the case
maybe add a 40 mm fan to the case above the gpu cooler to help keep it cool.

maybe even just a simple window. this is just the case I am doing then might sell it.

heres apic of the face plate I painted to day.

Yes it is really hard to find a really good purple. the color is Purple-licious...lol fits the color

Like i said, its so hard to get a good picture i have 3 different cameras and still cant get the lighting right to make the metal flake pop in the pics like it does under a light. . the color is awsome though. supose to rain to day here, so i will just be preping the case today I cant wait to get it done but i am in no hurry

I used a model paint for models, hobby shops or craft stores should have it, I didnt even have to prime the case, just sanded it with 600 grit and cleaned with soap and water.

the paint stuck great, then clear coated all with in about 2 hours had the faceplate done start to finish.

Thanks guys for the support also.

LOL nice comment thanks

here is another pic of the case, started preping it today, had a bad spot in the case, said M$ ...lol and a spot where it look like a fan or grinder on the top of it, patched it with JB weld, reason being it wont shrink like bondo and i will only have to do it once to fill it not 3 or 4 times ,

EDIT: added another pic of the faceplate and after i sanded the jb weld down, started with 150 grit , then 220 grit then 600 grit final sand, smooth as can be now, just waiting on weather to permit to start painting it, and going to make controller case match the case now.

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 20, 2011, 04:58:16 PM »

good thinking on the JB weld LOL i have fixed so much stuff with that its right up there with duct tape and super glue LOL

Rodent · « **Reply #10 on:** June 20, 2011, 05:01:41 PM »

its better , stronger wont shrink even if the xbox got to 200 degrees it still will be safe and not crack

Rodent · « **Reply #20 on:** June 25, 2011, 03:04:38 PM »

That was just the first coat, wet sanded it smooth with 1500 grit, going to add another coat tomorrow then wet sand again then clear it , I am hoping to make the color look real deep like you can stick your arm in to it...

thanks guys this is the first one I ever painted.

Still looks blue in some pics , i just dont get it ...lmao

Need some white joysticks now , and need to find a way to paint the grey parts on the controller motherboard, cant have gray on it...lol and find a hard drive and paint that white and purple. . I am not that good at painting but damn i can get some good ideas...lol

Rodent · « **Reply #29 on:** June 26, 2011, 05:54:03 PM »

Spray can, Testors model paint, 1842M Purple-Licious is the color, and cleared it with Krylon fusion clear, was scared it was going to screw it up but coming out better then i thought, for my first xbox 360 paint job, i am pretty happy with it so far.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!!!!
