Purely cosmetic!
Purely cosmetic! Posted on: 19.02.2013 by Deangelo Boender I want to add some character to my VCI! I believe pinstriping along each side, a little on each jog wheel, and a big flourish in the space where the upfaders ride would be sick as hell. My graphic designer friend knows a guy that has a vinyl plotter, and he says that vinyl pin striping would be better suited for my purpose, than to find someone to paint them on with enamel. I was under the impression that paint would age more gracefully than a peeling sticker on a road worn controller, and I don't want to effect the capacitive touch sensitivity of my job wheels. Do any of you guys have any experience with relatively fine cut vinyl decals, or have you painted on your controllers? Let me see your painted and stickered controllers! | |

| Deangelo Boender 19.02.2013 | From what I've read it really depends on the thickness of the vinyl, you can get away with thin decals! I believe that even if I used thick vinyl, there would be enough exposed jog wheel space around and between the stripes for me to lay my fingers on it and get a good contact. I was only going to do a couple of fine details on the wheels anyway, like a pair of little flourishes at 120 degrees, to triangulate the "USB midi controller" that is on the jogs already. Maybe I should drop the fine design pinstripe idea anyway, I'm sure theres more people out there that have taped off and stenciled their controllers, I wonder if I could get a good look with that? |
