Did you really get word from somebody at access to to custom paint, I just skimmed through the thread. Im assuming you were joking. Im sure they have no time or interest in custom painting, it would be cool if they offered that for an extran 100 or 2. When buying a piece of gear like that you should be able to customize at least the color scheme. Anyhoo, my point was that I read on some other message board about doing this to a Nord G2 er sumpin. Some one said all you need to do is find a company that paints stove tops or something like that maybe it wasnt stove tops, that sounds even harde to find in the phone book. But apparently there are many other companies that do this for other products. You just take the panel in minus synth, knobs, etc. and they strip it and repaint. You may also want to send an email to
