Ill upload some pics in a second of it in progress

the logo need to go on the front of the box as that is all that would be visable, so its really the only spot besides the amp, which i thought would be much harder to paint having a heatsink and what not

in all seriousness go to wal mart and pick up a can of spray paint. if you wanna gloss it then go with a primer first. and use a stencil for the logo.

just mask off the rubber as best you can - maybe use an x-acto to get real close. then id get some "paint on plastic" primer and do a few light coats- and then id get some color of your choice and a few more coats - and then id get the decal printed up and stuck on, then mask that off- then paint your logo - then remove decal and gloss it all with a few coats.

then proceed to wax //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

should add a gram tops. no worries on T\S unless its a real nice driver.
