benz280se Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 i have an old school usamps 400 thats been in use since about 97 it's a little banged up from being in and out of my various cars and trucks. i was thinking about sanding it down and throwing a coat of paint on it. my question is will that interfere with the amps ability to cool itself?http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=a08lz&s=5 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dnynaa&s=5
AI James Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 i havent painted but ive powdercoated alot of them. it messes with them holding more heat when you do it but if its well ventilated it shouldnt be enough to hurt it. paint shouldnt be a problem at all.
newls1 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 That is an AWESOME AMP there! Gotta love the old school amps. House of Color makes some very nice (but expensive) spray type of paints that look immaculate when done right. Might want to look into that. I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny
MATTMAN24 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 james makes a very good point, ventilate it and u wont have a problem they do make paint for hot surfaces so might want to look into that as well HIDS and projector headlights forsale http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/99528-hid-projector-headlights-and-hid-kit-look/ 24's and Tires forsale http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/100286-24s-with-tires-for-sale-east-texas/

The enD Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 What about sanding it. Not with circular motions, but with straight, only in one direction ones. To get something like lil lines.
