CUSTOM COLORED CONION

[JustCruisin]

ace ?
or which hardware store

It used to be ACE, but then a midwest chain bought them out: Bomgaars.. But still the same stuff!
The screws were 8 x something, 3 long maybe.. 8 x 3 or 8 x 2

Looks like Pearl White it is! Thanks for the votes everyone!

I find this a tiny bit amusing, because Pearl White is the first and only idea I had a couple months ago to paint it... (no joke)
Looks like I would've had a winner if I just stuck to my gut feeling..
The feet need to be fixed first, but I should start the resto pretty soon..

Here is some motorcycle pieces I painted Snowwhite Pearl by House of Kolor, this is without clearcoat.. I don't have any more on the shelf, so I will have to get some.. or there is a new Pearl white out by House of Kolor I might have to try.. Can't wait to clean this beauty up!

Friggin dope!! I voted Pearl so I can't wait to see this. I might even try an buy a beater just so I can send it to ya!! (Hey wait!! I have a beater TC-999!!!)

I late to the party (again) I was gonna suggest House of Kolor Chrome! Chrome the case!

On a related note, I went to the hardware store the other day and found all the screws needed for the back casing! They are threaded all the way down compared to half-threaded like the originals..

I did the same thing with mine. It was missing 3 screws.
I think the Pearl White will look awesome. Do you plan on going lighter with the tuner dial backing?
Can't wait to see how this goes.

Yes, on my Korean Conion I stripped the blue off the tuner backplate then polished the bare aluminum for a chrome look..numbers still light up in white!

I must have missed this thread last year when i took 1 year off from the internet ...can't wait to see the finished product .

I voted for "grafitti" but no matter what you do i'm sure it will look good. Just don't do it red...i saw it done in red and it looked like cr@p

Are those Lasonic woofers?

 

[JustCruisin]

Expanded on the color fades today.. Shock orange, apricot, peach, banana yellow, sky blue, lime green, magenta, and violet were the colors used.. Sealed it with a matte clear to keep with the pastel look..
