I've decided to follow this tutorial HERE
and I'm using this neon
The Blue.
I was wondering what tips you guys had for color choice of the case. I'm doing the X, and planned on leaving the non x black. I was thinking a chrome color with a blue tint over it. What paints work best in your experience.

Krylon Fusion is the best plastic paint, also instead of URL you hit img, you need to change that.. whats your favorite color?? possiblities are endless, Green X with fresh black around it, is pretty cool, its just what you can amagine.. _________________ (2) XBOX v1.4:

I was thinking of using a silver paint over the X. then hoping to find a semi transparent blue to paint over the silver. to give it a frosted look. Trying to make it go well with the neon. But my spray paint skills are limited to painted a pine wood derby car in boy scouts when i was 9. So if anyone has pointers tips and can understand my "vision" i would greatly appreciate it.

ya, just take your time and carefully tape off everything but the X so you don't get any overspray, and remember thin just covering coats of paint, and do like 3 or 4 layers. i dont know how your gonna get the blue, maybe when the last coat of shiny silver is tacky hold the blue spray can really far away and let it "mist" on.. thats just my idea.. _________________ (2) XBOX v1.4:
