Anyone have the balls to paint their 1000 ?

rather than payin forat 600 bucks to paint the mpc, btw i have not even seen an 1000 paintjob on their website so i doubt they even doing it. I was thinking of painting the red sides myself. it can be witout disasemble, using some newspaper and strong tape just cover all areas except the sides. I just dont know what color or type of spray paint ? hmmmmm, maybe black,blue, grey?? although a forat dark wood panel would be nice !!!!!! u guys remember snoop in mtv cribs, he had the hottest 3000, shit had wood trim all around and i think it was dark blue or black?/

just undo the sides and paint them yellow to match the lettering

I'd definitely take the time to disassemble it.. that way you don't accidentally get any over spray on your MPC. It is worth the extra few minutes it takes to disassemble it.

I've been thinking about painting my sides or making some wooden ones as well. I saw some spray paint specifically made for plastic at the hardware store the other day. Apparently it bonds better to plastic than other paints. You might also want to paint the rec and over dub buttons as well as the CF slot trim. I think the red is trim is really hideous, but I've just been living with it for now.. haven't found the time to do a paint job.

i just painted my 2000xl today..it came out allright. i put the coats on too fast though and got some air bubbles. im gonna put some wood rails on the sides next...

D@mn Ive been thinking of tring something like dissasembling and painting the face. Is a risky prospect but could be done....Anybody have any experience or suggestions of acually taking a 1000 apart??? help a forum brotha out....thanks, peace

A little trivia about colours... did you know that Akai is Japanese for Red?

Nice fact to Know..if its true!

no doubt the red does **** up the color scheme, but oh well that **** can make beats!!! im happy with my 1000 and would love to make it mines with my own custimization.

i got an email from forat the other day, they said hat they'd post up some mpc-1000 customizations soon....for me to paint mine though, would kinda be like living with genital herpies...a pain

Strictly speaking, Aka 赤 is Red, but it's Akai 赤い when used as an adjective (to describe something) e.g. 赤い羽根 = akai hane = red feather.

I'm learning Nihon-go... and what a messed-up language it is. So much is borrowed from other languages and symbols have developed multiple meanings over time. e.g. 仏 means a) Buddha, b) the Dead, c) France, depending on context...

when i was in the navy, i was stationed in japan for 2 years...i miss that place everyday...did you know kuwahara means mulberry meadow?

I would just Love to paint my MPC 1000 Gloss Black with silver chips, white letters, and some how get woodgrain side panels for it
that would be my ultimate plan

I would say shinny pearl black would be mine.

candyapple red(metallic of course)

I like the "Akai" sides...it matches my nord almost perfectly.

Yeah, I got one too (I'm a swede, I have to use Clavia products ;) Too bad the blue isn't a bit more purple looking like the Nord. Then it would be a perfect match!
