Painted MPC 1000 - Attempt #3 - need opinions

Ok . I re-painted my mpc 1000

I did not like the labeling job I did on the last try or the try before that.

I do not have a label maker or anything to do it for me, so I did the same thing I did last time - but I took my time and I used red paint instead of white for the labeling job

here you can check out my last attempt and my latest

check it out.

let me know what you think.


also someone on the last post I had asked someone to explain what they did when they painted thier MPC.

so...

- I unplugged the MPC
- I unscrewed the back plate screws - the screws that hold on the front plate and side panels
- Once you get the back plate off the side panels come off by pulling them forward then outward
- you then will be able to pull off the front panel where the memory card goes
- there will be a couple more screws under this panel that attach the main face panel ( unscrew them )
- you then will be able to pull off the main face panel ( remove slider buttons first )
- once you have all of the seperate parts - lay some newspaper down and get prepared to paint
- you can pop the screen cover off that is attached to the main face panel aswell
- when you paint it - whatever the color may be - fallow the instructions on the paint can and dont over paint it or it will run or glob up - I suggest just putting on a light coat - then when that dries - apply another



- thats it - i dont know how your going to do the labeling but I painted mine obviously

i think i woulda left mine red and blue

u got guts for attempting that though..

It looks cool! Good colors.

Anything is better than the "Strawberry and Blueberry" of my orig. MPC1000.
It's so freakin' DORKY.
It's like Napolean Dynomite designed it. Except it ain't funny. What was AKAI thinking?

akai was thinking that if the colors were kinda lame, then they could sell an upgrade kit that gives you a black color sheme for your 1000. why give it to you in the beginning, when you (the customer) can end up paying for it a year later.?

i hate the blue and red color scheme, but i'm not about to spend any money on cosmetics.

I liked it better when you had the white text....That free hand is what made it look raw....I do like your red Hypes logo that you put on the front though....Sh!ts tight!!!!

where can you buy a black scheme?

I think that there just gona sell them black in a few months, am I right? Nice job btw how did you do the labeling im thinking of customizing mine?

looks good! i just dont like the labeling. and the black is too much. too dull. and the one thing i really like about the akai one is the fact that they made the screen area black also so it isnt blue. but good job

if you don't want to do it yourself, you can wait another couple of months. by that time, akai is releasing the black case kit for the 1k.

Really nice bro!

But take down that poster on your wall!!!



And put up this

looks better than your last one

J-J-J-Just leave that poster up homie



...and you still got room for this joint somewhere
