    Default z2 faceplate replacement process?

    Hey guys my z2's crossfader and line faders paint are chipping and wearing off even though i've only had it roughly a month and its been lightly used. ive read on the NI Forum that i could get it replaced but i could not find the process on how to do this. does anyone have a similar issue? or have any idea how i could get a replacement?

    In the spirit of diy, I think you should make your own faceplate.

    I don't understand how everyone is having issues with the faceplate paint. don't drag your hand on the faceplate and/or CUT your long ass nails I have never had issues with any of my mixers and faceplate being worn out from my lazy ass resting my hand on the mixer...

    haha, sorry, just saying, i've had mine for almost a month now, practice 1-2 hours a day and it still looks brand spankin new

    Are you just mixing or are you a turntablist? In my first week I began to lose paint. Shiftee (best groomed fingernails in the business) cut on it once, and all of the paint was gone on one side. My crossfader paint, in all, lasted about eleven days.

    I'm on the list for a replacement. Maybe someone on the NI forums has received one by now?

    I mix and scratch... Everyone's style is different... I don't drag my fingers on the mixer

    Mine actually faded and I'm not rough on my stuff at all. I think its a matter of which batch you purchased. The 1st generation are shit!!
