It's also VERY expensive. Even for small amounts.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

That would be Chameleon paint. It's very expensive. I've never shot it before. But I'm sure I could do it...

I'm a big fan of House of Kolor paints. Some very nice trick stuff in their product catalog to include glow powders. I've used their product on one of old motorcycles and the results were bad a$$. I know this is audio product you're shooting, just posting a thought.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

Yeah. They've got some cool stuff. But almost all of it is pricey.
Its mainly for custom work. Which we don't do. So I've never used it. It would be fun to get a chance to mess with some of the stuff they offer...
Maybe a Polkie will want a Glow in the Dark amp or something.:D

Very nice, I hope they post a picture of them installed on their speakers."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

You should have been around 4 years ago when I bought the piano black big boys; one of them needed a little TLC. Nice job!!_________________________________________________

Need (2) more RD0194-1 tweeters and they are done for now. Crossover upgrade in the near future. -
Nik...PM me a quote to paint these side panels of this Denon amp. I'll take care of the shipping both ways, and the color black.

I know it would.
Lets do something.:cool:

Hey Nick,
I like that system sig. It kinda makes me tear up. Can we expect some paint mods on your own gear?

The only thing that would be a candidate.
Would be the SDA's.
All my other gear will probably be to my liking. Although I haven't seen the Rogue in person. So the jury is still out on it. But I have already bought some black trim pieces for my XPA two. And that will make me happy with the amp.
I plan to buy a black Jolida. I'll be happy with that
That leaves the Rogue and SDA's. If I don't like the Rogue finish. I'll probably paint it black to match the rest of the gear.
And I have been throwing around the idea of painting my top and bottom caps on the SDA's piano black. And leaving the one strip of oak down the sides. Or better yet. Taking them to my cabinet guy and have him put a nice glossy maple finish on them. I think that would be sick.:eek:
So yes. I have ideas.;)
Nik
