Most of the consoles were created by Microsoft or a game/movie publisher to promote their product. There are several companies that are frequently used:

Colorware is a popular vendor for Microsoft in the US:

You can go to the product filter and select xbox 360 and 360 s to see some of their consoles. They've made more than they show in the gallery.

In Australia, there is company that does a lot of airbrushed consoles for their promotions:

Most of the consoles were created by Microsoft or a game/movie publisher to promote their product. Some are airbrushed, some screen printed and others have a professionally applied skin/decal.

There's also a company called SmoothCreations that does custom consoles and PCs for publishers.

In Germany, there is Top-Airbrushe.de:

I'm sure there are many more out there. I'd be interested in any others people here know of.

Edit: I don't know what I did to get the double post...sorry.
