Is that even possible? If so, how would you do it?

Yes, my MOS-2 505B is painted white, and I've seen one on eBay that was painted black. I'm not sure how they are painted, but I'd guess it's not that much different than removing the finish from another piece of furniture and refinishing it. Of course you could always ask the company or a rep for advice.
The larger question is, rather, why is it so important to change the color of an organ? I could see your question if the console had suffered damage, but to change a perfectly good finish?

Any surface can be painted with the proper preperation.What is it made of?I assume if it was sanded and primed correctly you can paint it any color you like.Spray would look the best ues a oil base.You would mask off the manuals etc. to protect them from overspray.Comment

They have done black ones too. Here is one that was sold to Billy Joel:

That color reminds me of a Barium drink I was given once (before a gastric x-ray)! I can't say it's the most attractive color I've ever seen. I wonder why they chose that color? Is it because basic grey goes with everything?Originally posted by nullogik View Post

I'll agree it's ugly. It was probably made that color to fit in with its surroundings. (It would be very appropriate on a battleship--if a battleship had an organ.)

How about this bright white one that was sent to Denmark?
