Ok first of all.
A buddy of mine is going to paint xbox's like this one he did for me...
He is a car painter and is using the SAME paint that you use on cars ..
along with some airbrushing and great artwork .. you get some badass xbox's..
The xbox's will be Clear Coated (basically you can WAX your xbox)
and Pearl (gold..silver) is usually always added somewhere...
Anyway.. he did this one for me.. so that appealed to ALL possible buyers..
he wanted to do a Rock type Castle type Scenery look but.. didn't want to have people not want it..
So the jewel is also Cleared and polished.. the plastic under the jewel is still there in case the buyer does not want it cut.. if you do just let me know..
People that want theirs done can send just the pieces they want done.. or can buy premods..etc etc..
even a trade of good clean lids for painted ones may works also.. face plates dvd flace plates etc etc..
He is VERY good at duplicating what you wish on yours... if you have a drawing or some sort of good idea.. (kinda like what you would do for a tatooist.)
or just let him go wild on what he wants ..
I will try to post more pics of other things he has done that are just simply incredible from..
motor bike helmets.. pc cases.. even Funeral Caskets..(don't ask I will post pics)
100$ is what we are asking.. that is SHIPPED price also with insurance and tracking...
Excuse my JPEG resizer.. it kinda dulls the pics a TINY bit.. but if you want 20x30" poster shots .. let me know.. my Digital camera is 4mg pix..
he is a couple.. pics please inquire if you have ANY questions.. this xbox IS for SALE!
1.0
samsung dvd
120gig HD
switch for xbox live under controller port 1.
full apps and dash etc etc.
PLEASE CLICK THE LINK FOR MORE PICS:
LINK TO PICS!!
This one was with the lights off except for one with no flash..
those stars are NOT reflections.. and are NOT GLOWING.. just trying to show
other pictures of the artwork.. they are painted stars!!
Private Message me for fastest response.
Please be aware the turn around time is NOT overnight.. more like 1 week.

| so lemme get this str8...ur charging 100 bucks for the paintjob? |
100$ yes.
Other websites have charged anywhere from 25$+ for 1 color of rattle can paint job..
some for 2 colors go as high as 80$ ...
This paint job in the pics "may" not go for 100$..
would 75$ be better?
more pics are needed of other types of artwork right?
just need feedback. THANK YOU!

Kool... I still like my paintjob service....  |
Not to say anything about your service...
But your paintjob has NOTHING on this one or ANY that are done by this person.
For the service YOU provide.. 20$ (+shipping or no?)
is a great price for the quality and type of paint.
Yes it is expensive but.. but the paint alone on these box's cost more than your whole job, plus don't forget..
20+ for 2 colors?
these boxes have a wide range of colors in them.. plus the clear coat ... plus the pearl.
and it had to have taken twice as long as doing your way...
More pics will have to be shown..
plus the price may have to come down.. especially ON THIS BOX..shown.
sinse there is no real "art work" involved.

| yea not to say the xbox isnt cool but not many ppl are willing to pay 100 drive him down 50 and you will get a few |
Yeah guys I totally know what you are saying..
100$ more for a xbox just to look good is alot.
We are trying to figure out what is best..
Thanks for the replies.. and I will work on getting the price down.

| yup yup$100 is way to much maybe you should use a lower brand of paint but same quality of art work and it should be good |
Cool.. we are working on it.. however it isn't quite the paint.. yeah its expensive.. but the paint is what makes the job even better.
otherwise you have rattle can.. which YES can be done very very well but never to the quality and time it takes to do this type of work.
Again this box .. 100$ is high.. however if other type of artwork is needed.. such as making your xbox look like a monster truck .. or to go along with a Halo Theme or such.. takes waaay more time and involves airbrushing.
Pearl and clear coat again just makes the job look waaaaay better and cleaner.
but thank you for the response!

If you have ANY ideas on paper or pictures or whatever..
please email them to me..
I just want idea's for the next one..
also so I can try to get cheaper pricing.. etc etc.
50$ is a good start... however shipping wouldn't be included in that.
the paint job is for sure worth 50$ and shouldn't be dropped because of 5$+ shipping.
anyway stay tuned.. next week or so.
