Yes, it;s another blue system. I'm sorry. I have had mine "done" since before christmas, but i never posted. I thought I would now.

The paint on it is, Impluse Blue Metallic. My dad owns a mechanic shop in Houston, so when i went home, i got his body shop to shoot some paint on to it.

I wanted a red box, but when i asked them if they had any "good" spare reds they said no.. then i asked for blue. Yeah... then he laughed and said we have this..

He pulls out a quart of paint and says.. this is $98 a quart.. PGP. He opens the lid and swirls it.. WOW. looked like liqud blue metal.. and it SHINED.

He then states the reducer for this paint is like 30 bucks.. He smiles and proceeds to prep the plastic with flex spray.

The Silver was from a 2005 BMW 745i. Very nice as well.

I didn;t want a window. Not yet.. as it seems everyone has one. I don;t know why.. but i just didn;t feel one.
Last night i swapped out the heatsink grease for some foil as i would get random lock ups.
I found the foil.

I was also helped out by G0t M4xx 21 in changing out the leds to white and blue.. will post those soon as well.

i dont care what anyone says about blue being overused... it is still the best looking color on an xbox and this is proof of that. I think this is the best solid-coat paintjob I've seen yet.

yeah man this is nice, shame about the power button.

man never apologise for the work, its your xbox and youl do what you want with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

and btw yeah..you shouldnt have removed the foil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) itl probably work worse now. since youve taken the foil off you should replace the grease with some arctic silver.

nice paint, cant wait to see the lighting keep it up

Afroman · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:49:00 AM »

I did do it my self. I painted it. The shop provided the color.. i sprayed it.
the major help i had was from g0t maxx he helped solder the leds..

all in all. i'm proud of it.

Oh and, about the foil.. i removed it.. but i also, replaced the grease with artic silver 5.. not one lock up yet.
