Okay, it does look good, but too much work just to make it black. Just my opinion. I've used that same paint on dashes, works great but $6.99 a can here, plus it's always to blend into the colors unless you're using black.
I've used red, green and a light blue on 360 controllers and they look great, it's really worth it... although i have never tried it on the console before... bit too complicated for me to remove the case. Anyway, it really is worth it, a controller can be pulled apart, preped, painted, and put back in a few hours (+ drying times).

I really want to try painting a controller and case chrome... but i can't find a suitable paint, if anybody knows of chrome paint can you please post it.

once you take the case apart and you see how easy it is you will laugh that you didnt do it earlier

If you send me questions on Live about modding or anything related i will block you. Dont be an idiot.

Hey nice tutorial I used this as a base to make my chat pad red to match the red controller from my RE5 bundle. But instead I used the fusion paints for plastic and they don't require sanding. Here are my results.


Red Chat Pad 1
Red Chat Pad 2

I am thinking of doing this to my white accessories I bought to match my families xbox to match my new red one. Which will help keep all our accessories separated since we have 2 360's in the house.

Nice job! What brand of paint did you use? (fusion?)
