this is a very odd message. most who don't have anything ready to post would postpone the posting until they do. you get props for going against the grain.

k items needed

1-2 cans of spary paint( u can only have one color if u want to do this without opening it).

ps. i used spray paint that i used long ago for painting my bike, and it worked fine.

you need 1 roll of tape( i used a kind of tape u use for putting on the edges of baseboard when ur painting your house)
buy this at canadian tire if u live in canada or other places.

newspapers

first you need to get the tape out and cover everythign but the
big x cover all ventilation holes i suggest put alot of take on that because if any of the paint goes in ur dead... in the controller ports smush up a piece of newspaper and put it in the port (make sure their tight in) now cover the the dvd thingy where it says xbox just that. just cover everything that u dont want to paint and also cover the bottom of the xbox a bit. after you've covered everything u dont want to paint then u can start
with a light cape of paint then wait for a while do another1 then another1 after everythibg is dried take the tape off and there u go a beautiful xbox

ps cover the jewel too and if u get paint on it u can get soem alchohol and just take a cloth and rub it till it goes off.

i did this all on my own and it worked great for me

again i dont take responsability for a broken xbox

is this guy serious?

by the sounds of it i'd get a better finish with nail varnish. stuff rubbing it down with the alcohol i'd probably need to drink that after ruining my xbox with soggy newspaper/take and spary paint?

what a waste of forum space and a load of %$^&£$&^!

let me summarize this tutorial.

1. put masking tape on the places you don't want to paint.
2. paint it!
