    Default Thinking about painting my X-Session

    I'm considering giving my M-Audio X-Session pro a fresh coat of paint because, well, I want to. And should something go terribly wrong, I'm only out $100.

    1) Is this even possible? It's plastic.

    2) Should I take off all the knobs and remove the faceplate? I'm assuming getting paint in the electrical components would be a bad idea.

    lol it is so easy, just disassemble it, sand the top, prime it, paint it put on 5 coats of clear and re assemble.
    It honestly took me 1 hour to disassemble, paint and reassemble.

    Has excellent coverage, and goes on thick.

    It says don't prime, but I prime everything.

    This is mine

    Man that looks pretty tight. I was thinking about painting mine white too...

    I'm actually thinking about painting the knobs and stuff too, but I don't know what I would do about the buttons.... hmm...

    the knobs you could just paint and clear coat and see how it holds up. the rubber buttons i would just leave or put a vinyl sticker/cover on.

    was super easy as mentioned above - see the attachement for the colour scheme i chose. white was my first thought - then i thought this would look better along side the x1Attachment 2497
