the buttons are making it look old as sh1t once i do everything it wont look so un-finished...it will all blend lovely!!

i got more votes for the blue than anything else so i ran with it...once the buttons are done and the lettering is back on and its cleared it will be suntin ta write home about..

i think some navy blue buttons would make that thing pop.... navy blue record and overdub... baby blue play and playstart.


would be nice...


navy blue akai logo right where it is supposed to be with a baby blue drop shadow... it might even look like it was made by akai (some sort of special edition) since it looks nice and clean.

very funny you say navy buttons because i been in my garage for the last hour painting a scheme that u speak of..not exactly navy but mettalic blue and its dark like navy..

on the lettering..i got somebody to give me a super good deal but it was a compromisible situation,in the fact that the font would be exactly the same as akai's but in black...so i saved 150 dollars if i had gone a custom text..

not sure if any one knows or even knows why,,,putting lettering back on through screening is very expensive..and if you want to change,font,size,color,or something custom,,it isnt like they tack on a few bucks,,they want big dough,,and im talkin,,say i want custom text but a size bigger than original in a special color(dont matter what color,other than black) ,and i want something extra like my logo or something..

your looking at shooting from 170,190 range to up in the 3 or close to 4 hundred range....

now if i decide to do something for myself i might go all fancy pants but right now im just looking at selling a "like new mpc" that i rebuilt..so i realy dont want to lose on the deal..i dont care if i gain either,but id like to at least break even..as a matter of fact,my bigger concern is who ends up with it,,because i would realy and i mean realy,like to see it in genuine hands..nuff talkin,back to paintin..

Son

That MPC looks SUPER!!!!
Good work!

Any ideas regarding the lettering and what colour/style fonts you gonna use?
and are you going to design a custom Akai Logo in the top right?
