Have fun.....

I hope you know how to work with bondo and such because you will need to block sand the heck out of that...

Once you get it back, primer it the spray a light coat of black spray paint over it, basically dust it. The take you a paddle and some 320 or 400 and have fun...

You're gonna love black after this one..

Ha

??? Are you saying that it will look good or what?

If black is a bad color what should i got with?

Blue? That is what the neons and my knobs are.

black is just the hardest color in the world to paint. ur "bodywork" has to be flawless or the black will show ever wave, ripple and goof up in the paintjob. u'll need to "stick" the entire thing to get the black to lay flat.

however, it's going inside a car. i doubt that u'll need to worry a whole helluva lot do to shadows and poor lighting inside the car. i painted my wife's enclosure gloss black with silver flake. i didn't bother with all the gory details of sanding it properly and it turned out ok.

it's up to u..i think the most i'd do is 400 the thing with a block (like mentioned earlier i believe) and call it good.

looks pretty good so far skep.
