auto shop paint.

high quality toy car model paint.

there was a name brand thrown out by someone a LONG time ago.
I don't remember the name. DON'T use regular spray paint.

just wait for the black kit to come out. that way, you don't have to worry about the lettering.

although it would mess up any resale value, i kind of want to lose the lettering on my mpc...it'd be cool to operate it blindly, based on memory alone like when you dial on a phone in the dark.

it'd just impress the girls even more, and everyone knws that's the only reason i produce, to convince women that i'm worth sleeping with.

I used regular spraypaint - ultra flat black - I did not want a glossy look

I knew I would have to relable everything my self

it took me 2 tries to get it to look clean ( kinda **** it up the first time.)

but like sparq said - wait for the new black face platre kit

thats a good Idea.

I might do that Once I buy a new black faceplate kit for it.

If they would of had that to begin with I wouldnt of even bothered to paint it in the first place.

if i were to paint mine i woundnt have a problem with the word placement because when i do things on it i just press the buttons blindy anyways ya know....i just know where the buttons are, but if you were going to paint it use some high quaility shit, just go to a hobby shop and tell em what you wanna paint and they should tell you...
