Would you paint this amp ????

I have an idea, just make ONE thread with pictures of ALL the stuff you own, instead of listing them one by one with stupid questions you already know the answer to.

Paint it, then pawn it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I was thinking about running it in my Porsche 928 it is guards red with black interior...I figure the flat black would match the trunk better than the white

Can't believe you didn't take this as opportunity to post a totally un-related pic of something you have.

lol I'm pretty sure your kidding but I wouldn't paint that ppi amp.

my vote would be for taking the casing out and stripping all the white paint off of it.

and then polishing the entire casing. bling bling.

imagine how sexy it would look polished up

I already have several old school polished US Amps...even the very rare polished sink links...the reason I wanted to flat black so it would blend better and not get noticed...

Get someone to copy the silk screening, then strip it and paint it black and reapply the artwork on the black amp.

It would be unique then.

Definitely not a troll thread. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Well personally I would leave it alone but no one should be denied for making it pretty!

You have a lot of stuff, I'm guessing you have some moola. Since it's the "Art" series I would first strip the paint off of the amp, prime it, paint the heatsink black or white then have someone hand-paint a famous art piece(has to be long and narrow like the Last Supper or something) in the middle strip. The name PPI and model number shall be hidden somewhere in the painting. Clearcoat the paintjob then hang it in that closet of yours like a framed painting.

There is a really neat black powdercoat that has a textured finish, looks awesome. I do some amateur powdercoating and it's one of my favorite powders. That amp would look good coated in that black. I really hate seeing an old school amp changed up, but if the finish is scratched up, then it's done anyway.

the center arts not to bad...is there anyway to repowder coat just the fins?

Masking tape......................(a painter's secret, don't tell anyone)

I guess I could try that maybe tape off the center and paint the fins to match the car...that would be pretty sharp

Use the blue painters masking tape, it wont stick to the silk screening and it wont leave any residue.

Its got a lot of little scrapes on it...I figured it would look better flat black plus its not gonna hurt the sound any

I thouhgt you said you were almost blind! If so HTF can you see the "little scrapes"? And if you are blind why do you care?
