Ok so I didnt like the way my Type RF amps looked together (one is a X4a gunmetal color and one is a X7c chrome plated , well I couldnt find another X7c shroud but I did find a shroud from a X7 that I got from Matt281 from this forum , anyway the first X series amps were silver so it didnt match either amp that I had , so I figured if I was going to paint them it would be something cool , at least too me .[//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif]

actually looks better than the overdone crhome thatsnormally on it

Thanks , still gotta buff and wax them , they will really shine then . Gotta make sure the paint is fully cured before I do though ......

That looks great, 1loud. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I might do that to the case for the KAC-746 I'm trying to sell since no one seems to want it. What kind of paint was used for this?

If I had one suggestion it would be to paint the raised RF logo red like RF's..... it kinda looks weird to me with the logo monochrome.

i would think maybe that dupli-color automotoive paint from autozone for somethin cheap

 

[1loudmtherfuker 10+ year member]

Prowler573 , I used Dupli-Color Mirage paint , can be found at most automotive stores , some Wal-Marts have it .

 

[1loudmtherfuker 10+ year member]

Beat_Dominator , was thinking that too , but I will probably just sand the logo back down to the bare aluminum .

Oh that'll look nice too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Are you gonna run a clear coat over it?

 

[theCybe 5,000+ posts]

You should clearcoat them.

Dupont makes an inexpensive 2k clear.

 

[c_hayhurst 10+ year member]

Quite nice.

 

[vetkilr 10+ year member]

Clearcoat FTW or it will peel easy.......FTL

Looks really nice to me - nice work.

I bet they pop and stand out in the sun.

Oh - don't cut&buff the metallics, it'll turn those flakes into grey specs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Try it on a test piece and see what I mean. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have another set of purple corner peices and center peice coming soon ....

 

[1loudmtherfuker 10+ year member]

BTW these were clear coated , might still wet sand and re clear them though , maybe get em more glossy than they are ......
