**My Painted Controller (S4)** Hello guys, I want to share a little (kind of artistic) and fun project of mine with you: I disassembled my Kontrol S4 and painted it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I donโ€™t wanted to use a sticky skin, so i grabbed my spray can. Enough words, here are the pictures: ![2 - Soundboard.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/6/3/63f6c384a2a4c441db0aba54b6fa21fc3d6c4079.jpeg) ![5 - the boards & Crossfader.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/5/c/5c748783581b4c8d5d630be2dd8208e18562103e.jpeg) ![6 - Starting Spraying.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/f/c/fcee37a6b7e05533bc4364049911db9bc35ea112.jpeg) ![9 - Side Panel.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/9/2/92eaf1416fbd66c076a9306ae862863c689e8902.jpeg) ![10 - Drying over night.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/6/1/6127943358bb8947dde1822e8c72a1a5345e1d5f.jpeg) ![16 - Orange Setup.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/8/3/832cf352c059f60c78d3dde8ab43575b981624b6.jpeg) For all the Pics visit my Facebook album: [https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.727360350648964.1073741832.461584563893212&type=1&l=23c7c3599c](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.727360350648964.1073741832.461584563893212&type=1&l=23c7c3599c) As a next step i thought of spraying a pattern on top of the metal plates since its now very easy to remove them ๐Ÿ™‚ Have any of you ever thought of panting your controller? Or you already did? Hit reply, post pictures and let me know ๐Ÿ™‚ Have a nice Day! PS: If this is in the wrong forum i politely ask the mods to move it. I thought it doesnโ€™t really fit into the โ€œmodded gearโ€ thread. ---

Looks pretty good! Paint is uneven in some parts though. Nice job! ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

I would seriously consider sanding this back (you wonโ€™t even need to take all of the paint off) and applying a couple more LIGHT coats. Just hit it with some fine grit sand paper to take the shine off, then go over it with 2 or more VERY LIGHT coats of the same paint. I made the exact same mistake as this when I painted my DM2 (YEARS ago!) ---

Thanks for the suggestion - what would be the benefit of this? What do you mean with mistake? Did the paint come off too soon? Itโ€™s the first time i sprayed something ๐Ÿ˜‰
