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.
-
looks awsome i like that purple
-
love the purp.
-
Thanks guys , going to try and paint the case today, so hard to get the true color in the pic, alot of metal flake in the color . will keep you updated
-
Looks great so far!
its hard to get a nice purple, and u have it :tup:
-
LoOks awesome so far man!!
i'm gonna go buy me my spray paint 2day :tup:
-

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
LoOks awesome so far man!!
i'm gonna go buy me my spray paint 2day :tup:
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.

Bang tidy.

Bang tidy.
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.
-
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
-
its better , stronger wont shrink even if the xbox got to 200 degrees it still will be safe and not crack :tup:
-
purple led ring man.
Call it "plum crazy" the name is an old dodge hot rod color.

Nice Rodent!!!!!!! you definitely need purple ROL now lol, that is lookin really sexy
-
either a purple ROL or a white ROL or even a purple and white ROL would be sexy as hell
-
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.

Man that is one nice xbox, i think purple and white leds will really bring that beast to life!!
-
Wish i had more patients with painting, would of painted the xbox 360 logo white may still do it
Thanks again, will let you know what i decide on leds,
-
nice Rodent. looking good!!!:).. i got some purple uv leds. they look good. if i had them installed in the rol i would show a pic. i dont really like the uv ones. :dntknw: :dntknw:.
come to think about it. here is when it was (either blue or white?) and the uv purple. cant really see it that good =/

Funkilicous
But I really do hate upside down guide buttons :@
-
Freakin sexy dude!!!! im sure the purple comes in better in person. I know what you mean about not being able to get a good shot of leds, either their on or off or just glare out the camera. The white leds are super bright lol. Overall, that controller is REALLY nice!

It would be WONDERFUL if Rodent made a thread on how to paint sometime............seriously............
Housings for the 360 are expensive as crap, there's no way I'm paying that much. I would love a blue xbox one day, but everytime I try and paint, something always goes wrong.
I'm willing to try again, if I have some guidance, and it looks like you're a PRO hahaha...
wonderful job :)
-
