I want to put in some work customizing my MPC a bit, but was wondering if anybody knows sites they would recommend to get parts.

I want to get wood paneling (I don't know any woodworkers) so I'm going to get it off here:

http://www.mpcstuff.com/wood-side-panel ... c1000.html

Also thinking about getting new pads and maybe a skin.

Any recommendations for SKINS or paint jobs? (Looking to spend under 80$) I would paint myself, but am a bit concerned I would mess things up. Would prob just do 1 solid color (or 2).

Thanks all! Hope to get responses from y'all or see some pics of your custom MPCS!

yeaaa....just < 80 for the Skin. wouldn't mind painting, but not sure if I have the skills for that this time around.

already got wood paneling, new knobs, new dials and new pads.

@pastor - i checked out style flip...do you have 1? wondering how long they last (~ a year or so?) before getting pretty grimy or falling off... i use my MP at least every other day.

thanks for suggestions all.

if u have painting suggestions in the boston area, holla too!

thanks errrbody

check the show your 1000 thread there are plenty of style flips around here.


one of my favourite 1000's was a black one with wood sides... it looked like it would fit in well with a moog.
