Comply with up

So first thanks to everybody for his or her suggestions on the challenge! It was nice to see different favored it as a lot as I did. I needed to share a number of the imperfections I neglected with angling and causes I deemed it not prefect and methods I’d enhance sooner or later.

The primary photograph is the faceplate I initially paint however didn’t take into consideration how the DVD drive button would look. I used to be sad so determined to get a second one and a few 6mm do stickers which I layered 3 to cowl it and as soon as painted used a interest knife to rigorously minimize the stickers out.

The second photograph is that remaining faceplate and though it has imperfections the place paint leaked by means of the masking tape as a result of I held the can to shut when touching up the strip, the clear circle button I ended up with was 100% what I used to be going for.

The third photograph is a results of my masking tapes edges being broken which wasn’t nice and brought about me to should redo coats a couple of instances earlier than I used to be comfortable.

Fourth images exhibits masking traces on the again from both a lacking layer of paint the place I masked and sprayed the strip first reasonably then priming your complete aspect then masking the strip whereas I sprayed every sides color coat or it’s as a result of I didn’t permit the paint to dry sufficient earlier than masking which I additionally realized in different elements and needed to repair with re-coats.

The fifth is the toes on the underside of the console I want I eliminated these and glued once more as soon as completed as a result of they’re appropriate for paint and are already flaking.

The ultimate images are the console once I pulled it out of storage in March this 12 months. This was my first console I owned and acquired as a present on my twelfth birthday in 2012 and yeah I performed a whole lot of it and it’ll all the time maintain nice recollections with associates domestically and on-line. The within has been absolutely clear and repasted so hopefully it might probably final me for a lot of extra years.

I will probably be maintaining a tally of the standard of the paint over time and seeing it lasts as a end coat was not used to guard it.

Since opening up the console 5 months in the past I’ve been studying an increasing number of about them from movies and opening my consoles at dwelling and changing into extra considering electronics repairs, modifications and so on. As such I’ve been working towards soldering in between the paint job of this Slim and am excited to develop my data on this discipline. My plans for this 360 aren’t accomplished completed and I plan so as to add RGH strip across the fan and RGH it once I’m snug with my soldering. I’m additionally considering up methods I might customized paint my Collection S and Xbox One so can’t wait to share them sooner or later.
