For painting controllers and Xbox consoles it's a lot more time consuming than it sounds.. if you want it to be done correctly then you'll need to have it cleaned really well, have a primer, whatever color you want, then clear coat and all have to be plastic paint. If they're not plastic paint then it won't stick to the console and give it bad smear marks. If you want to do a big cutout on the console then you would need a dremel type tool and a couple of different heads for it. The saw blade, rough edge, and sandpaper. As for the vents and fans you could buy some online and just put them in the console, that's the easiest part of it all. If you're still wanting some help with customizing a console or controllers PM me, I'll help you as much as possible

Cheap equipment leads to cheap products so make sure you buy good stuff, heres some of my old projects.
