Mr.JaunDurfle Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 I want my amp to match the color of my car. Would there be any reason why I should not paint the top of my amp? Of course everything except the top would be covered and taped up so over spray will get inside or on any connectors. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin

Mr.JaunDurfle Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 It's a DC 5k. I will be running cooling fans under the amp. 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin
Carbon Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 You dont see painted amps for a reason man. I would leave it alone. Or have it powder coated. or anodized. Paint would not be a good option at all.
Mr.JaunDurfle Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 Is paint not a good option because it retains heat? I appreciate your input. How would powder coating it be different from painting? 2001 VW Passat Sportwagen Alpine ICS-X7HD DC Audio 5K SSA 15" XCON Tantric Sounds 6.5HD's, Sundound Audio SA-6.5CS Incriminator Audio IA6.4 XS batteries, KnuKonceptz wirez, Second Skin
