liljoeyjordison Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Me an my little sister are both getting sony MZ-n510 md recorders. I picked it out because of the price tag and the usb function. But because we bought them both in silver... oh NOOOOOOO!!! the big mistake.... theres no difference between them (exept i shopped around for mine and its £30 cheaper : P) so i thought i'd let my "creative" side loose and adapt the player. Any ideas? will paint reck the finish or whatever? how about a printed cover?? sooo err yeah, as i say, the joys of having a little sister..... :sleep: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Couldn't you take one back and swap it for another colour? The blue and red ones look good IMO. However a lot of people have successfully custom painted their MD-units. You'd have to take off the outer casing first, which would void your warranty, so you really need to know what you're doing (and to put it back together again).

liljoeyjordison Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 kool, and i bought it off ebay so i cant take it back. and i dont think i get a warranty anyway *thinks* but with the outer casing, is there a website to give directions for things like this, as it hasnt arrived yet i cant see how easy this would be. I just wanted to get ahead and get some blanks drawn up etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi. Not sure, but I think it's a matter of taking the screws out and remembering what goes where. These threads might help you: Taking the cover off an N510 Painting MD player Good luck if you go ahead, though be very careful and remember it's at your own risk and I'm not taking any blame if it goes horribly wrong! :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljoeyjordison Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 actually, i think ill stick with the lower risk of puttin a label on it : P i think overall its too expensive to be messing around with it... and knowing me ill probably forget to take out a screw or something, then snap the case..... : D oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Get some auto detailing stickers, those should hold on very well, and be rather flashy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 If you're into the bling thing, that is. :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'm not saying pimp your MD player out with a Type-S powered by Honda sticker (Although there is Type-S ATRAC in the 510) But some stripes or something would be cooool.

sony_man Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 if you just make a little signature (by painting) like a little dragon in the corner or something? it wont ruin by painting it a whole new colour but will give a unique design on it as well. then get some varnish or something to protect it. reminder: remember, if doing so, practice the drawing and then apply the outline with the thinnest brush you can find (try going to a games workshop store) and then fill in your master piece with other colours then go to further detail. all done. ....or a sticker would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Or, in case you don't want to apply anything to your player, open the door on each of them, and look at the serial number. Try to memorize the last digit for each one. I did that with two R 37s once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sony_man Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 lol i would think that annoying or you could just simply look after it lol, i would think you wouldnt put it beside your sisters. :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
