[QUOTE="boister77, post: 495404, member: 551366"] being in direct sunlight may affect the performance of the amp. keep in mind that an amp stays cool by using the metal cover as a heatsink. therefore, a sun baked heatsink won't allow the amp to cool efficiently. i would sand the black paint to bare metal. you can then brush the metal, which most likely is aluminum, and give it the brushed aluminum effect. then again, like you said, it is cheap and ugly so i don't know if you want to go through all of this trouble.
