so, whos gonna be the first to paint they 2500?

id love to see the 2500 painted a custom color (even though the black is dope as flowers). imagine a red one wit red pads? or yellow with black pads? sh*t could be dope


im giving my classic 2k its 3rd paintjob now, im going all black lol. sh*ts comin out hot

nah man the 2500 should be left alone!

yeah i think so too. the 2500 looks nice the way it is.

!!!! I HAVE AN IDEA

you should paint the 2500 blue with red sides!

Dude, you need to send it to this guy!

that's funny

antonyms 1k looks dope yo. what is that a texture? it looks weathered. nice

on the sides - "hammered metal" silver spraypaint.

on the faceplate - i buffed off the blue paint and lightly sprayed it with black, then partially sanded it off. finally i clearcoated it with varnish. it was a fun little project.

you must know the machine inside out to be able to navigate without any text!

ant, thats real hot, i did a distressed look on my 2k once, but i never clearcoated. it was temporary

ive done the green/purple color change,

a natural distressed look with the bare metal and some black paint smudged in

silver

now im going all black, buttons and pads included


i also have an extra case, that i keep original. i got that on now

thanks dstruction, i was expecting more hostility from forum goers based on previous experience with those who paint their mpcs heh...

matt - yeah, i at first worried about painting over the text, but eventually i realized that doing that would indeed make me faster than ever on it. the only thing that i messed up on sometimes initially is typing out the letters, but within a couple of days i was like lightning.

i mean shoot, the mpc has fewer buttons than a keyboard and you don't need to look at that...

i also like the fact that with no text, other muhfuccas cant just jump on the mpc and think they know what they doin. thats my sh*t haha

I like the sides but from that pic i dont think the faceplate looks very good, looks a bit scruffy/tatty. You got more pics face down?

yeah it's meant to look like it's been through hell.

Man thats one UGLY looking 1000. Looks like a Do it yourself with a can of spraypaint. Would be a hard resale if you decide to sell it.
