They look good but a little young, man. How old did you say you were again?

It is 'texured', but it was that or some serious brush stroke marks (the
paint is made for plastic, and is a little thick).

Most of the box is fine, it's the big circle in the middle that looks a
little rough.
Other than that everything else looks great, so I hope you don't take my
comments the wrong way.

They are my parents, on their wedding day, May 24th, 1955. They were both
in their twenty's then.
I didn't.

No problem. I was very pleased with how well it turned out. I have posted
pictures of my painted Gamecube and PS2, hoping others would do the same,
but I guess painting systems is more uncommon than I thought.

Good job Lights!!
Can you please post what paint/brushes you used. What precautions you
need to take etc.
This sounds like a cool home project with a lot of creative potential.
I suddenly feel like doing it this weekend.
cheers!

Clean XBOX with alcohol
Prep with Plaid (brand) Paint for Plastic, Primer
Repeat about 45 minutes later
I used Loew-Cornell 5511 Flat to get the white (Plaid Paint for Plastic,
1301) on (four thin coats, dabbed not brushed, to get the 'gator-skin'
effect).
I just used Microsoft Photo Editor to open the picture and applied the
Stamp effect until I had the amount of detail I wanted, then printed it.
I cut out the shadow and used a Loew-Cornell 5602 Liner to get the first
coat of black (Plaid Paint for Plastic, 1333) on. I just held the
stencil down, so there was a lot of bleed.
After it set, I used a 5403 Spotter to clean up the edges, then back to
the 5602 to get a second coat of black
Not seen in the photo, the face and sides are white too. I repainted the
XBOX on the DVD Tray, the numbers above the controller ports, the eject
arrow, and the power button (Paint for Plastic, 1322) Bright Blue (just
so you can see them. I was going to paint the Microsoft logo and DC and
Dolby logos but decided that would be just too much.
Use light colors if it is your first time (they cover up easier) in a
long time painting. Start with an easy design. Practice on a flower pot
or something. Don't get upset if it doesn't look right the first time.
Above all else: TAKE YOUR TIME.

this is absolutely the worst idea ever conceived or implemented. I'm sure
your parents would be proud to know that you equate their relationship to a
game of Barbie Horse Adventures.

I have been a little curious about why the OP would pick his parents to put
on his Xbox. Are they big gaming fans? JLC

No, they are not gaming fans. I really don't know why I chose them. They
are having their 50th Anniversary soon, so I guess that was part of it...
