Hi there, My MPC has undergone many botched face lifts in the ten years i have owned it. The latest one is the most professional so far. If anyone wants to paint their MPC casing, i highly recommend getting it professionaly powder-coated. i took it to an industrial powder-coater and they had hundreds of colours to choose from, was relatively cheap and looks very professional. i just ordered a bunch of new buttons which i painted, and i got some black pads. i also painted the front panel. still a work in progress. i am having trouble finding a replacement lcd window though. the XL one is too small....

olive green with beige buttons. looks ok!

thanks for all the tips guys! i'll defenitley check out the screen options. the pwder coating cost around $50 US. even though i know the buttons back to front i still thought about lettering. how would one go about that kinda thing?
btw, i read that whole other thread, i just thought i'd start a new one since the other was getting really long :wink:
