My Black 360 Chatpad

That's it!!!

I used a T6 Torx Driver to remove the outer Torx Screws on the chatpad.

That's awesome!! I really wanted to get a black controller but i felt it would look so tacky w/ my white chatpad. So I'll probably cop the red one instead, but that's nice, I like that.

Took only 15 minutes to take apart and spray (flat-black automobile paint).

I let it sit for 15 minutes and then popped everything back on.

It was actually really simple.

It's looks pretty damn sweet!

I'd love to get a black controller but it'd look too weird with my white xbox.

I did not post these to brag, I posted them to help. So if anyone has any questions, just send me a message or continue to post.

I have "Googled" the "360 Chatpad" in the past and have found that the most results are those that are complaining that Microsoft does not offer one in black. They don't even exist in production and cannot be special ordered.

I am definitely not the first person to spray a chatpad black, so if you were still looking for a more "in-depth" tutorial, just search "Black 360 Chatpad" and plenty of results will show up.

Either way, here are a few materials:

---Duplicolor "Auto Spray" (Universal Flat Black) {costs about $5}
---Scotch or Masking Tape
---T6 Mini-Torx Driver (hard to find locally)

There are 4 Torx Screws on the exterior and 5 mini-philips screws inside holding down the keypad.
