Repairing the blue paint of a Nord Lead 3 |
|
|
Hi
I think I've seen something about this in here before, but since I couldn't find it, I decided to open a new post.
I got this week a Nord Lead 3 but unfortunately the blue painting near the mod-wheel, is a bit off...
Is it possible to repair this?
Since there are no letter in that area and it's only the same color that needs to be fixed, I was hoping it would be possible...
If so, what do I have to do in order to get my Nord Lead 3 looking good again?
On a side note, the seller sold it to me as in pretty good shape.
When I got it, I noticed it had that painting damage (I haven't seen a photo before, so it was totally unexpected to me considering his words).
Later at home, I noticed it also stinks to tobacco smoke and three keys have small cigarette burns (not big, but when you play you can notice the key has some irregularities).
And when I tried it at first, the buttons weren't responding that well (after some tapping they now seem to respond), but one of them sometimes seems to get stuck if I press it down...
Another problem is that when I want to have all the four parts active, I have no idea on how to turn a part off... I could get only one part working, but I'm not sure how... I think it might the buttons that are not responding that well...
I bought it knowing of the painting issue (but only saw it right when I was going to buy it...), but the other things seem a bit off to me...
I paid around 620 euros for it, which I think is a good price (especially cause it came with the original soft-case), but I think the condition is not what was advertised at all...
I just hope I can solve the painting issue, cause the rest I guess can be solved with some cleaning. |

Nobody here has a suggestion?
I'd really like to fix the paint on my Lead 3
It's such a good looking synth so it's a real shame the paint damage...
Thanks in advance,
Best

You could take the top cover off and show it to a car bodywork centre...?
With a bit of finesse and practice, you could also do this yourself, with some careful taping and a spray can. The real trick is to match up the colour, but if you don't need it to be an exact match you could possibly get away with it. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

I'd want to get the same color...
Since it's only a bit in the end, I'd expect it to be possible, but I have no idea of how to do it...
Anyone knows what paint I should get to have it the same color?
Or am I better off trying to contact Clavia directly? |

I don't know .. but http://nm-archives.electro-music.com/010_NordModular/018_FAQ/ has some info on Nord Modular colors (scroll down to the bottom). That info was given by Clavia BTW when someone asked. _________________ Jan
