i love the paint job man.

[Akeel]

my airbrush guy is available and his rates are very competitive!!

VERY VERY fucking cool man. I hope you don't mind but i think i want to pimp out a pair of decks also. Very inspiring. I don't think i wanna invest any money into my MK2's but as soon as i grab MK3D's I'll brainstorm different ways to pimp my decks.

AIR BRUSHING! Ingenious! And all this time i thought vinyl stickers were the way to go!

I did the blue led to a couple of tables of mine in the past with the chrome covers. Are they as bright as I said theyd be? They are like 5x brighter than the regular red LEDs which in the dark can be a little straining on the eyes.... The paint job is super sick dude! I bet it looks even better in person. Paint the mixer underneith of the faceplate too bro! That way you keep all the knob/dail setting volume numbers on the faceplate but get the flow from table to table. That would be a sick setup.. Next. Get the black and white Ortofon Qberts to match! DAMN sexy taht would be

they didnt turn out that bright - not blinding at all! i was kinda disappointed :( will definately be painting the mixer to match too; what do you mean by paint the faceplate underneath? i'm gonna paint the 600, but its got that shitty aluminum cover and u know how the existing markings rub off when you scratch around the xfader...only thing i'm worried about...i've already got the silver ortofons...but i think its time for an upgrade to the q-berts anyway :P

He means to paint the sides and leave the faceplate as is. I still think scanning the plate and printing the dials on clear stickers is the way to go.
You could make the sticker to cover the entire faceplate (cut out where necessary for knobs etc) and that would protect the paintjob...

[Akeel]

i know the 600 like the back of my hand though - i dont really need to read the crap written on there, just a few key things to remember!

[LDUB]

OK... so I'm more thinking for myself here Akeel :P

Regardless, a plastic cover would be more protective than any varnish if you are worried about the paint job chipping.
