    How To Remove Any Unwanted Paint From Your Xbox 360 Controller

    I am going to be showing you how to remove any unwanted paint from your Xbox 360 controller. Maybe you were painting your controller and messed up in a spot, or want to take the old paint off to give it a new paintjob. Either way, this tutorial will help you out with your situation.


    For this demonstration, I will be using the battery pack, but this will work with all parts of the controller.


    WHAT YOU WILL NEED:



    The piece of the controller you want to remove paint from

    Goo-Gone


    [IMG]


    Paper Towels


    [IMG]


    Some Patience


    OPTIONAL- Gloves


    [IMG]





    STEPS



    Take one piece of paper towel and put some of the Goo-Gone on it.



    [IMG]



    Start to rub the paper towel with Goo-Gone on it on the section you want to remove the paint from. In my case, it's the whole thing.

    After a minute or two, it should start to look like this:

    Continue scrubbing, and then as more time passes it will look like this:

    When you are almost finished, it will look like this:

    And finally when you are finished the controller piece will look like this:

    It may take some time, but you can remove the paint you don't want from your controller. Hope this helped!
