Thank you guys! I am extremely happy with the way it turned out and more so of the quality of this box. It's probably the best mid-sized radio I own!

Wait better than your Lasonic 920? I can't believe you just said that it does look sweet with the shiny silver finish

Well, the sad part is, I need a new 920....mine is worn out! So yes....this is my best mid sized radio! Yeah, that paint is amazing! It's REAL close to the factory paint, but with just a little more POP!
When it came time to look for paint I went to a hobby shop, a craft store and two hardware stores. Apparently they don't sell SILVER paint anymore! The only thing I found were "Metallic" paints. Some of them were fake Chrome, but this one worked. It's Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish.
Yes, yes you did and it's about f'in time.Lasonic TRC-920 said:Thank you!

I used this, it is very close to the original silver with just a touch more sparkle in it.ford93 said:Excellent work Chris!
