Post by: robin1989 on October 28, 2008, 08:54:23 AM
ive dissected my 360 chatpad and im looking for somewhere online that has spray paint in a can that is the same color as the elite controllers so that it matches. i may also do it to my wireless adapter and 360 camera if i get the time and can be bothered.

Hey in another thread you asked why it might've cracked and I think it might be because you dried it outside, then inside. Apparantly rapid changes in temperature can cause paint to crack while drying, and I'd guess there's a good 15-20 degrees celcius difference between outside and in your house. (You guys use Celcius in UK right?)

Dude that's pretty damn good. I'll be painting mine to match my black controller too now :D That looks awesome black, I don't see why M$ didn't make black versions in the first place...
