Yup Im in the works of changing my black with red top knob to black with green top. 8)
That should flow nicely with my green REC & OVER DUB buttons.

I think Im going to keep the others black with white top.

I'm done, except for Red Screen. The buttons are done and the cursor, "shwoooo", has graphics. I almost gave up on the cursor.

Check it out......Oh, check out the Boots. Told you R&B have been a favorite since way back.

hi guyz,

As promised I let you see the different steps of this kustom job.

I'm just finishing the polishing work ......... (one week sanding this faceplate...)


After mid sized sanding ...
Image

Little bit thinner sanding ....
Image


It has yet a brushed aluminium style, not too bad, but that's not I was looking for

Image

Image



Then it's starting looking up nice
Image

I have no recent photos but I went through thinner and thinner sanding to get a mirror effect.

Xcuz for the bad photos taken from my phone (quality and size).

I'm waiting now for some parts and paints and then I'll go for labelling it.

As it shines I take new pics and post them. :P

Pe@ce

the polished metal will look sick!!!! Make sure to clear coat it as soon as you finish sanding. Wash it good w/ soap and warm water and then get a coat of clear on it ASAP so you get no RUST!!!!


great work

ha ha ha, thought everybody had a 26" screen !!!!
ok ok I'm going to size those pics down asap.


Just to say that this casing's nearly finished.
I'm waiting for labelling and some parts and I will post you some fresh pics, I want you toi see it finished and your feedback interests me.
Anyone has already re-labelled a mpc 4000 ? A friend of mine wants me to customize it but there are some technical issues about relabelling this model.

I already finished my knob on my MPC. Will post pics soon.

It was actually very easy to get the top off. I just slipped a razor under it.
