Painting amp cover?

I'll be painting my enclosure in a hammered black finish. I have an amp rack where the two amps will be frenched in and recessed. Since the enclosure will well be hammered black paint, should I take my front covers off of the amps and use that same hammer finish on them? I'm not worried about resale, and I could always repaint them back to factory black.

Here is the beginning of how the amp rack will look. I would like to hear your guys' opinions on this. Should I paint them with the hammer finish and same color? Maybe hammer finish in a different color do they kind of POP?

Lets check, I did the port on my blowthrough on the inside of the port in a silver hammer finish. It basically looks like hammered metal.

I think a black hammered finish on the amps would look sexy... do you have any highlight colors you're using on the truck?

I don't have a picture of the black hammered finish. You can see the texture of the hammering on the edge of that port. The black looks good, I did a test spot on the enclosure and it looks pretty good. I didn't snap any pics, I should have.

Mine is, yes. I took a little acetone and wiped off the white or whatever color it used to be. So the reason you haven't noticed it on yours is because yours is still White.

Have you considered plasti dip?

Im not really looking good that kind of finish from the Plasti. I was thinking more to compliment the finish of the enclosure.

Good suggestion though, thank you for it :)

i personally would do my amp rack the same color as your blow through, just to match, and i would paint my amps another color, to give it that wow factor. just me tho. any way im sure will look good.
