Technics. What colour?
Technics. What colour? Posted on: 22.05.2012 by Brunilda Kora I've got 2 1210's that need painting up. I'll probably sell them soon after they'e done.What colour are people more likely to buy? I'm pretty sure I'll be painting the platter, face plate and tone arm all the same colour. White was cool a while back, and I've considered doing them in camouflage with matt paint and matt lacquer. What would people buy? | |

| Teodoro Woolever 22.05.2012 | Pearl White. |
| Eleanor Munday 22.05.2012 | Gloss white with all black tone arm/platter look the damage! |
| Chasidy Heckenbach 22.05.2012 | i want to buy some 1200's again sometime and would probably want them in totally original condition or a colour like blue. not sure i'd want the tone arms painted tho? but could look cool... |
| Yong Aptekar 22.05.2012 | Spin Jungle - camo. Either grey/black/white or standard greens Want classy - white pearl like ^these guys are saying Ultra classy - black and gold Psytrance - puke up neon all over 'em |
| Arielle Posso 22.05.2012 | i dunno how i feel about camo. i believe it would just look weird no matter what color. i kinda want a pair of wood technics. i know i saw them some where on the internet. they were wood with like gold trim or something. they looked pretty dope. |
| Ira Alsadi 21.05.2012 | My bad. I thought you were referring to the finish. Like white with an accent color to give it a pearlized look. Kind of like a chameleon paint job but only with white and one other color. |

| Brunilda Kora 21.05.2012 | I like the idea of gunmetal grey. I'd like it even more in a matt finish w/matt lacquer... |
| Ira Alsadi 21.05.2012 | I agree with Xone. Black, white, and tints or shades of each. I am actually painting the tonearm section cobalt blue on my M3D/dicer ones on the advice of the painter. I don't believe I am going to like it. Luckily he promised to strip and respray if I found it horrendous. |
| Branden Wentler 21.05.2012 | I've always been partial to the ambiguous dark grey or carbon grey. Not too dark but not too light. Black is right out. The color shal be grey and grey shall be the color... Kudos if you get the python reference. |
| Romelia Stankard 21.05.2012 | I just believe camo would be ugly. Only way it would be kind of cool is if you did a greyscale fine digi-camo pattern, and that would look bad unless you are really good at painting and I wouldn't want techs like that. I would stick to black, white, silver, and in between. You can do a gloss black or a gun metal grey instead of the usual matte black. |
| Brunilda Kora 21.05.2012 | Thanks for the responses. See, me, I'm old school. Silver for 1200's, dark grey for 1210's. But if the case has chips and scratches, I'd rather make it an obvious re-spray, rather than trying to match the old colour... I understand that some of you younger cats would HATE the camo idea - that's why I'm putting the feelers out. I know some of you electro fans (the new electro - not REAL electro (Herbie Hancock, Hashim, Tyrone Bronsun, etc..)) would go for some flouro type colours. What combination, though? and what do people believe about colour matched platters? |
| Jaleesa Zheng 21.05.2012 | Just typical black would be my preference or grey like mentioned. Anything else would be silly for me. |
| Deangelo Boender 21.05.2012 | I wouldn't paint the tone arm either. I believe that a dark matte grey would look cool, clean and stylish like. |
| Dannielle Dingey 21.05.2012 | I prefer stock colors or the 'not in your face' kind of restauration.... So I would not paint the tone arm and stay with grey-ish and black (both go well with the rest of the gear). I know...I'm boring ;p Good luck with the paint job & the sale. |
| Jaleesa Zheng 21.05.2012 | glow in the dark homie |
