The
best paint
to use
is acrylic
car paint
here are
some brand
names
recommended
and tested
by fellow
modders
in the
XboxScene
forum:
Krylon
Fusion
Motip
Car Paint
Dupli-Color
Auto Paint
Tamiya
Model
Paint
Plasti-kote
Auto Paint
You
will also
need some
clear
packing
tape.
Start
painting
the inside
(edges)
of the
case.

When
its dry
turn it
around
and paint
the outside.

Try
to paint
from all
sides
but dont
use to
much paint
in one
place
keep moving
around
the box.

You
should
now have
painted
all the
pieces
(top,
bottom,
DVD cover
and button
cover)

Masking
of can
take a
little
time and
isnt easy
Use clar
packing
tape cut
it at
a slight
angle
then put
it down
into the
groove
use a
screwdriver
to make
it stick
to the
side
Fold
it inwards
you can
see the
"angle"
part at
the top
its not
in the
way when
we have
to mask
of the
other
side

Also
use the
"angle"
trick
on the
small
parts
Now
its time
to paint
again
and as
before
paint
the inside
edges
first
Then
when its
dry turn
it around
and paint
the outside
getting
in to
all the
grooves,
finish
of the
top with
one coat
so the
whole
X is wet.
when its
dry remove
the clear
packing
tape

Hopefully
your case
now looks
something
like this
Take
your time
and dont
rush.
DONT
get to
close
with the
sparay
can.
DONT paint
in moist
and cold
conditions
or leave
it out
at night
it might
fog up.
