Costs $99.

Click on the XBOX and it will take you to the color choice section where you can actually see what your XBOX would look like if painted a specific color.

Anyone here have this done yet? If so, mail me a pic. Thanks.

Or buy some skins. If I do anything to mine, I'll do it myself.

I just dont see why you guys want to customize your xbox so bad, if anything why don't you use your big bucks for Steel Battalion controller and LOC atleast you could play that. And online I might add

hell, ive never even played steel batallion im just saying if I had the cash I would buy something for the xbox that would be fun, you know to play, to not just sit there and look at the color, of the xbox, does anyone play xbox, or just fingerpaint them for 99$ :D Im not being rude, im just syaing I could think of many better things to spend with that money, I don't know how much you have so maybe you already have every xbox game you want reserved and paid for but I would never be able to buy all the games I want and then just get it painted.

Yeah, you can just send in your controller or XBOX. I have mine skinned but I want one painted too. That's why.

Look....I'm not expecting you to sit there and look at your XBOX all day! It's an article of interest. If you don't want to paint yours, fine, but don't post back why you think we're just idiots for wanting to do it. Give me a break!

I never called you or anyone an idiot I simply stated I would not do it, maybe you should back away from the computer and cool off.

Man...no offense, dude...but, 99 bones better give me something more than just them dipping my XBox in a barrel of paint! I think some airbrushing or something would be a nice addition...not just one solid color. Hell, they even paint the jewel the same solid color. I'll pass on this one.

Yea $99 is a rip-off. I spent less than $50 on mine and it looks just as good as those :watchout:

If nothing else I think it's a great way to see what your XBOX would look like if painted a different color though.

Oh, for sure! I completely agree...I just think that if they did some airbrushing or something...I think it would justify 99 bones...nah mean?!

I like it, too...but, I wonder if it's because the background is the same color.... :watchout:

That honestly is about a $50 dollar job at most with supplies and time it will take to paint it. It's one simple color that is painted on and cleared, not too difficult to acheive for like $10 :o That is of course if you have yourself a nice spray gun and know how to paint and prep the surface.

I bet it's actually lower than that. If they're using a good air gun it'd take no time at all to paint an Xbox. One coat of base+clear is all you probably really need because it just sits on a shelf.. If they know what they're doing i bet it's just a couple bucks in paint. Just think about how cheap Maaco is to paint your car. Don't they have like a $200 deal? :eek:

Like i said $10 bucks to do it personally i would probably charge about $50 to do it for someone which would include shipping and all the painting. That is a basic color of paint of course, if you wanted it custom air brushed then where talking $100.

and no this is not a shot and getting people to send me their xbox's to paint :eek:

I saw this on the Screen Savers. Looks awesome, but not something I'd spend $99 on. :watchout:
