Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Anyone know where I can get some large black buttons for my MPC 4000? Actually the same button is used for the play, bank, next seq, full level, tap tempo, track mute etc...There are 20 buttons in all. VST and MPCSTUFF don't have any....Trying to get my 4000 to look more like the one on Akai's site...black pads, black buttons etc..Lemme know...

hmmm. Yeah I was trying to avoid that route but it seems like that's what I'm going to have to do. Any other tips for painting my buttons...Rust-oleum...any specific gloss, textures etc??...I don't want it to look corny....just want the paint to go on even...I suck at this sort of thing but I think i'ma gunna try it...

They did have the small ones for q-links/main/seq edit/record/etc 2 months ago, and I'm kicking myself for not dropping the $120
They never had the big tap tempo style in black AFAIK.
Anyone in the Chi who wants a dub for trading me their 9 black tap tempo/play/stop/pad bank ABCDEF/play start buttons for 9 white ones, PM me. I'll spray some canned air in that b!tch while I'm there, and put memory/120gb hard drive/8outs in or whatever if you buy it.
