Step 5: Painting
Last step is painting.
Now that you have it completely smooth its time to paint. Even though you have the surface super smooth the paint will still stick. If you are using Krylon Fusion paint because it is meant for plastic, which is even smoother than you have your surface now.
Paint as desired. I used 3 coats of flat black to minimize glare and show depth better.

Does this risk the XBOX heating up more since there's a pocket of air inside and can't escape?

No absolutely not. In actuality it would help with the heating. Because it puts more "open air" between the heatsink and the case.

unless you actually cut a hole behind the skull it will act as insulation, which may or may not raise internal temp, too tired to do math atm.
