do it yourself. i did, binger did. so did phatz and djames. its pretty easy. check out my website (link in signature) for pics of my mpc. if you wanna try it, ill give you directions.
ive painted mine twice, its really easy. even thin coats are key..just unscrew the lid and watch out for the wierd little clips on the sides..the front piece goes off first and back on last..knobs, just pull them straight off.
krylon worked for me just fine..give it time to dry completley betweeen coats. don't handle the fresh paint at all. put on less then you think you should at a time and use multiple coats...if you get a run in the paint youre kinda screwed, youll have to sand it off..get a can of clearcoat sealer and finsh it up w/ that..
i want to hook mine up w/the cf card reader hows that??
