Bought a used EWI 4000S - it had some scratches so I gave it a new paint job!

Looks sexy. Kinda want a custom paintjob on my 5000 now!

Where did you find a used EWI?
1
eBay! There’s always a bunch up on there.

That looks great!
Did you take it apart to paint the sides, or did you cover everything you didn't want to get paint onto? Turns out I'm too lazy to recreate those no-longer-available decals if this is easily doable. :)

I took it apart, I don’t think I would’ve been satisfied with the result if I just used masking tape.

Yeah, I figured! The result makes it look like it was worth the effort!

Very cool! Paint color and placement look similar to some Japanese 4000s', although my brief internet search shows only white models with the special pink variant. I wish to paint an Akai as well if I should land one someday. Any advice for painting method?
Just regular ol' spray paint worked well for me! Aluminium primer, metallic pink paint, and a clear coat on top.
Had to sandpaper the EWI4000S logo off first, though.
