WHite APC40 - paint job finished :-)

Post by auditory canvas » Sat Jun 13, 2009 3:45 am

Finally finished the paint job, and changed the colour of the faders and knob caps to grey.

Decided not to add any legend at all, I like the minimal look, and it gives me the flexibility to reassign buttons and knobs without them being labeled wrong.

I'm pretty pleased with the results. The photos don't really show it off well, but I'm no photographer.

Did you do a clear coat?

Also, I think those directional buttons may be available in different colors, I could be wrong. Check out one of the MPC supply sites.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

@contakt321, yeah, did a few coats of matte/silk clearcoat. Good idea on the MPC spares, I never thought of that at all. Good thinking dude.

SWEET!

$5 for a white one for an MPC2500! Bargain, I'm sold.

just need to check they are the same size, but I'm guessing they will be.

Thanks very much for the idea and link dude, much appreciated.

white looks cool - but without some kinda markings it somehow looks a bit cheap imho

i'd add some klingon, chinese or "alien mushrooms" (http://www.urbanfonts.com/dingbats/alienmushrooms.htm)...
