Comply with up

So first thanks to everybody for his or her suggestions on the mission! It was nice to see different favored it as a lot as I did. I wished to share among the imperfections I unnoticed 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 pastime 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 on me to should redo coats just a few instances earlier than I used to be blissful.

Fourth pictures exhibits masking traces on the again from both a lacking layer of paint the place I masked and sprayed the strip first quite then priming the complete facet 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 discovered in different elements and needed to repair with re-coats.

The fifth is the ft 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 pictures are the console once I pulled it out of storage in March this yr. This was my first console I owned and obtained as a present on my twelfth birthday in 2012 and yeah I performed quite a lot of it and it’ll at all times maintain nice reminiscences with buddies domestically and on-line. The within has been absolutely clear and repasted so hopefully it could final me for a lot of extra years.

I will likely 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 increasingly about them from movies and opening my consoles at dwelling and turning into extra concerned with electronics repairs, modifications and so on. As such I’ve been training soldering in between the paint job of this Slim and am excited to develop my information on this subject. 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 Sequence S and Xbox One so can’t wait to share them sooner or later.
