I just want to know if its easy to remove everything from inside the case because i want to paint my xbox white

Sure its easy, just get the right torx bit (10 i think, 20 for the case screws im not sure)

All you have to do is pulled out a few cables and unscrew a few screws

Easy as cake jsut take screws pull up pull back its out. Make sure its in a non static area

I've removed the motherboard. Do i have to remove the metal inside the case where the motherboard sat?

If i remove the metal do i need to put it back onto xbox when done painting or can i just leave out the metal just put the motherboard back in?

^^yeah, what they said, or check the tutorials secton.

sS

You should remove the metal sheilding so the spray painting goes better...

Yeah you should put it back in afterwards too although leaving it out normally doesn't hurt but it can interferre with things (i cant use my tv remote when my xbox is on without shielding)

You can replace the heat sheilding if you want. I would leave it out unless there was some interference w/ the xbox and something else. Thats basically what the sheilding is for. So, unless your having problems, leave it out if your lazy.


sS

Heat sheilding? lol

I would put the sheilding back in just to save the hassle of the interferrance.

KEEEP THE SHIELDING!!!

here ya go

I took everything out. I painted my xbox before but it didn't turn out the way i like it so i'm gonna repaint it to a white glossy colour. I'll be using krylons glossy white. should i sand it a bit first? Also do i need something else to protect the paint after i'm done spraying it?

non yellowing clear coat

what do u mean by that? could u explain? what do i need?

far right

Ok.

So all i need is the non yellow coat and glossy white?

do i really need a primer and texture?


If i only need the non yellow coat and glossy white whats the procedure?


Spray xbox with the glossy white and then let it try and use the non yellow coat as the last step?

If you want a really nice paint job I would use primer. However if you use Krylon Fusion (which bonds to plastic) primer isn't as necessary. So your best bet would be to paint it white. (Do several coats, waiting hours to dry in between). Then after that has dried sufficiently go over with the clear coat.

alright thanks for the help.

How long should i wait when finish spraying with whtie till i use the finishing protecting coat?

its easy, removed hdd and dvd, unplug controller ports, unplug power supply and unplug fan and remove the 10 torx 10 screws put ur fingers under to board facing the front of the xbox and pull up and out.


with krylon 5 min between light coats and 24 hours before clear coat. Dispite what people say Kylon espicially on the controllers actually will obsorb the sweet and make the paint sticky without a clear coat.

So do i really need to wait 24hrs for a clear coat? Can i just wait like 1hr - 3hr?
