Is it possible and how should it be done? My custom post appears and works fine, and i can customize its permalink page but the index page stays the same. I tried making a content-[posttype].php + single-[posttype].php along with amending the get_templatepart code for the single-[posttype].php filebut it didn't have any affect on the appearance of the custom post type when viewd in the main index feed.

If you want to customise the Custom Post Type's archive page then you will need to also create a template called archive-[posttype].php, and in this, call the content-[posttype].php template part that you have already created.
For example if your Post Type is 'movies' then you would create archive-movies.php and in it call this (assuming content-movies.php is already present):
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'movies' ); ?>
An invaluable reference when working out which template files to use for what is the 'Official' WordPress Template Hierarchy page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
