Matrix 12 Facelift

Matrix 12 Facelift

2012-05-23 by obermann12

Hey folks i recently gave my synth a facelift and managed to remove all of the outer matt finish on my matirx-12 ( those cracks and flakes were becoming too annoying, and i just had to get to the shiny stuff beneath )... it looks amazing now! well i think so anyway.. a new lease of life.... anyway i was wondering if anyone would mind me uploading them to the board? not too sure if i have to go through the op first or just add them to the files section...? oh and no i didnt use any cleaning products, just a very slightly damp cloth and about 5 hours of work, very carefully teasing the coating off. anyway sure maybe get back to me and let me know what you think? about posting a few images that is... 

p.s. and im not taking any flack if something goes wrong if anybody else wishs to try cleaning up their M12 or Xpander... thats my disclaimer and i'm sticking to it... :) whether it was luck or attention to detail well i guess i'll never know, im just glad i tryed..

Hi dc,

I would like to see this. Put your pics on Fliker or Photobucket. It's Free.  
And give us a link.


Karl

wow, so this new "clear" finish is whats beneath the 
original "matte" finish of the panel?

Awesomesauce is indeed how it looks. Thanks very much for posting
this! Mercifully my Xpander is not peeling (touch wood), but I'd still
be interested in hearing more details of how you got such a fabulous
result.

Cheers,

John :^P
