Once again, only my opinion: I don't see what the point of simulating an XCM is. I would honestly rather have a unique, pure Xbox shell that nobody else has. I say it's perfect the way it is. XCM was meant as a fresh replacement for an old shell. You HAVE a perfect shell. I say keep it.

Here you go mate, not too shabby for a first attempt at a reproduction of a reproduction

Well I completely missed this. Excellent work.

Very interested in the whole process. Can think of a few non XBox things I could dye.

Checked it out, seems simple enough, half the prep is the same as a standard resto for me, and the rest is the sort of stuff you do prior to painting.

Just wondering the dye is it a use once throw away or can you have several runs on it.   Not that I am cheap its just that if you can reuse it would cut down on prep etc.  

Also the creative in me is thinking what if i mix colours………….

No problem, I don't provide colour times for other consoles but its 3.5 hours for Orange. Like to keep one step ahead as the best and many people nipping at my heels

You can easily get 2 uses and likely more on stronger colours if you disturb the sediment well with an electric whisk or cement whisk and wait 30 mins once up to temp
