Introduction: Custom Xbox 360 Faceplate
Learn how to repaint a xbox 360 faceplate to suit your needs/tastes.
I recently bought a remote for my xbox 360. The remote came with a custom faceplate, however it was white and would not match my elite well. Since it was practically free, and they are dirt cheap, I decided to repaint it.
Step 1: Inspect
I carefully looked over each area and decided the best way to operate on it.
Step 2: Remove Doors
Remove the memory doors and usb doors
Step 3: Remove Buttons
Carefully remove the two buttons as shown in the images.

This is hard to do, don't break it or it will look stupid.
Step 5: Sand
Sand it or it will look like shit.
Step 6: Prime
Prime it or it will look like dog shit, trust me i have ruined many models from not priming, so just do it.
Step 7: Paint

Then let your paint dry at least one hour
