Coated my Stage2 with DC-Fix

Post by MrSitcom »

Coated my Stage 2 SW 73 with DC-Fix, went with Matte Black to body and Dark Walnut with ends. I'm quite happy with the result, only the ends might need recoating later on... Payed 11 euros for the two rolls, spent an evening with my friend and his girlfriend. Used scissors, a knife and a blowdryer.

Congratulations. You have just reduced the resale value of your Nord by about 75%.

Why? If I someday want to sell my Nord, I rip that coating off. DC-Fix is meant to be easily removed when wanted.

I think you did a good job of it... it looks quite seemless.

Covering real wood with fake plastic wood grain...isn't there a law against that where you live?

If you are going to make an analogy, get it right! :lol:

Actually I think it's pretty cool - retro/modern and certainly distinctive! Bravo :-)

Actually I wasn't the one making the analogy, and I'm hopeless with photoshopping :D But thanks, that's what I was after, retro/modern vibe.

I thought about sanding the red away from ends, but that WOULD have decreased the resale value.
