Show off your “STYLEFLIP” Gear Ideas
I was thinking of adding some graffiti of some sort to my decks, mixer, and midi controllers to give them a different look. Was wanting to see all you DJTT members idea’s.
if you have no clue what this thread is about go look here and come back and make your comments.
They do look nice if YOU plan the layouts and labels well but it sure is a lot cheaper to just have the thing painted. 
get it pink with the shadows of dogs on it in blue
thats what i would do…
I checked that out a few months ago, but couldn’t find the VCI-100. Turns out it’s under Pro audio gear, not DJ gear. Checkout the desktop background thread for some ideas.
That is pretty damn cool.
I like my gear nice and clean looking. But if I could find one clean looking with cool colors I would be down
that’s the beauty of this one, you design it yourself so you can pick how clean it looks. i might just color code sections of a mixer or something like that with some simple graphics, maybe a name or something like that.
I think what you mean is… they sure do look a lot cheaper if you just have the thing painted.
54$ for a vci 100
full color print on a material that can be taken off if needed.
all the holes perfectly cut out(ask them to make a arcade edition)
all the knob info added ontop if you choose to do so
How long would it take you to do this yourself?
guess it depends on how you go about it…
no turning back method: mask out knobs so paint wont go inside or removal of faceplate.
paper version? a bit of sweat and its curling like arnold in his pumping iron days
styleflip copy version: good luck cutting holes nicely without plotter
and getting the knob info back on perfectly is another issue.. depends on the gear and what you really need to see.
The way I see it is… and this is just me and my opinion on it… Is from start to finish if I can do the whole thing in less than 1 hour then I will/would do it myself… that is if I could do it without errors and without having to problem solve the problems that come with any DIY project. But Im a realist and know that I would spend ALOT of time on something like this…that me… I wouldnt want 2 peices of material joined together if I cant just make a print straight off the printer. The money I earn per hour doesnt justify the time I would have to spend making something like this. I have 6 peices of gear with a style flip and paid for them with half a days work.
my point being having a styleflip is an added bonus of giving your gear something unique. I only have them to remind me not to make pop music and keep it dark/heavy.
after getting my colored knobs.. I wish I had done that.. Having a similar color underneath the area with the colored knobs. I ran into a situation where the UV knobs contrasted too much with the styleflip underneath.. thats why I added red nail polish to the knobs and design underneath…
dont quote me on this if your British… but the nail polish does make the knobs feel better
Im thinking of a theme that will stretch from tech, 1d, djm600, 1d, tech. I have a few ideas so far. Dont want to mismatch anything. I see no REASON AT ALL to label anything. If you dont know how to use my gear dont touch is the way I see it.
Please no fantasies or Dreams!!
just an idea…
go on style flip and make screenshots of all your gear.. so you can see what is in the actuall styleflip.
then in photoshop lay them side byside and try to match the scales the best you can and work from that…
then use something like this
and go crazy
having some labels printed, will let you know
What are you having them made for and what was the total cost?
vinyl labels, it was 16 bucks for the 2, i am waiting for the quality of the product, if it is good, then i will make more
I agree with you on the quality part. I want to get more feedback on the product before I just drop cash.
will let u know, they say if u dont like it, they will return ur money, we will see
Hows the quality? By chance does it feel like the graffix area would fade if used a lot?
