Has Anyone Sprayed An Overlay..?

[Karlos Santos]

Yeah, wanna change the colour of my VCI 100.

Has anyone sprayed an overlay another colour?
Did it work?
What did you use?

Im guessing that the overlay is plastic so may not take the paint well.

hm...if u spray paint it you will loose the labels...so maybe take of the overlay and use the metal faceplate?

[Karlos Santos]

Yeah not fussed about the labels cus i do my own ones with a Label maker.

Havent got the overlay yet. Ordered it today. Im also thinking i could just cover it with sticky-back plastic. I want it to be white for a little idea i have.

Got some white knobs/faders on order as well.

Also need to know how and what to use to spray the Jog wheels.

muhahaha...just laughin at myself! reading jesc´s comment and seeing my plastic panda keyboard lying next to me (spray painted with plastic paint). makes me feel like the dumbass of the year

Does anyone have experience with graffiti+plastic controller? Will the plastic dissolve/be damaged? Sorry for hijacking, karlos. Thought this might be relevant for you too..

[Ed Paris]

i don´t think so...my keyboard did not get damaged by painting it...1 grounding, 2 times color and 1 time clear paint...it definatly works. just make shure to not spray knobs, buttons or fader or the might get stuck or won´t work.

Okay sounds good, maybe i'ma give the 25 keyboard a nice yellow/green/orange paint job.. thanks

First off its KARLOS with a K . Dont make me come down there poopy pants

Hah... WTF is Home Depot...

Spray paint for plastic items... that sounds right. Will go to my local Crafts shop when the overlay arrives and get some advice.

Ill probably fuck the overlay up but ill have a go.
I could just cover the overlay with sticky-back plastic. Could even just cover the actual VCI with sticky-back plastic but ...

To paint the plastic, first wash it with soap or with what you use to wash your dishes (what's the correct word in english?). The plastic is always a bit greasy.
Now use a white or black primer spray so the next coat of real paint you'll use would stick correctly. Use then plastic paint (from DIY stores or hobby stores), two light coats are better than a thick one.
Varnish it with two light coats too.
You're done.
