Hey guys heres a simple tut on how to simply paint your xbox 360 &+ Controller

Please Note: The console is my own TuT however the controller is a video i got of youtube So i take no credit for the controller

Xbox 360


What you need
1.Acrlyic Paint/Spray paint for plastic (Fusion I Recommend)
2.A sharp object/Knife/scissors
3.FacePlate (xbox 360)
4.Pipe tape/Paint tape/Footy tape/Maskin tape
5.Commen sense



Okay so first of all, take your xbox 360 plate of your 360, this should be simple enough. Then I recommend you find a well ventalated area especially if you using spray paint. I also recommend that you have some newpaper/plank of wook that you rest the face plate on.
So once you have done this I advice you to cover the black sync button and the power button the rest is up to you : ) You cover these parts with masking tape, if you would like to put a pattern on your 360 face plate just place the maskin tape where you won't the pattern to stand out.

When you have done this either spray over the plate with a hand movement from one side to another with around a 15-30 cm gap between the can and the plate, simply spray up, stop spray down stop do this until you have covered your plate.

If your using the acrlyic paint then with a thin paint brush, simple paint around or over the maskin tape either way works, also you will need to do this until you have covered the plate.

Now you have done this wait 10-20 minutes for the first coat to dry of, you can speed up the process by placing a fairly heated hair dryer around 50-60 cm away from the wet paint.

Okay complete the same process as above applying the paint at the same distance and in the same movement, this is now you second coat finished, wait around 10-15 minutes again until the paint is looking dry.

The final step of painting is now ready to be done complete the same process as above however this time spray of paint gently over any parts that are not looking how you want them too.

Now its time for bed or a day on your console, as most spray paint takes around 12-24 hours to dry fully, however i am not sure about the acrlyic paint you will have to read the can if you are using that method
When the paint is fully dry pick up you plate and remove the maskin tape and wolla

Your custom 360 plate and oh yeah guys ;) Don't forget to put it back on... Hahahaha


Have fun send me some picture of your custom painted 360 face plate.

1.Torx T8 screwdriver

No it should not by painting the faceplate, just don't do the sides if you are not sure what your doing, but the faceplate is a safe area to mess with dont paint the LEDS :L



And you dont have to be good at painting my first shot and it looks okay black and grey : )

Only spray i got until tomorrow 8)
