my guess is if spray paint is running on you,then you need a little more experience with it,,it shouldnt run at all..but if u want that thick look,,go with an automotive paint and an automotive spray gun..spray thin coats,like 8 to 1o very thin coats.

heres a pic of what im starting with..
about 7 tacts blown
slider completely disconected
encoder totaly spent(looks like someones been turning the encoder with a screwdriver) :lol:
screen light is blown..

i'll be doing all my replacements today,or at least as much as i can today..still debating a color scheme,,

well heres the begining..

damn sonseelye that shit is all **** up, lmao.. that rotary encoder is done...

anyways i was thinking, what do you think of using a clear transparent paint, so the wording and design of the mpc is still there but is just basically tinted a different color? do you think this is possible? u seem like you know alot about customizing...

if u made the paint urself and used a translucent tint,,u could probably do that..other than that,,a clear is just going to make it shiny.

^^^im not to sure man..
this mp was actually a buy it now for 399 free ship.

i'll definetly let you know..

heay watu..its lookin like the sky blue and maybe a metalic silver..still not sure yet,,,im in the process of finding a better place to have it re-labeled...
i have to find the place to re-label before i can begin painting so they can make a template for it..

i will post pics of the whole proccess.
