[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8644651, member: 615398"] You would need to prep it very well, most amps have cases made from aluminum. Paint doesn't like to stick to aluminum. I would lightly scuff sand the surface with 220 grit sandpaper, clean it with tsp, then use Zinsser BIN primer in a spray can then the final coat of whatever you like. You will want to do multiple thin layers of the topcoat and might have to wetsand in between coats or if you get any runs. As far as temp goes you should be fine, most spray paints will hold up to 200deg or so. [/QUOTE]
