Is it me or does this new white M70 look better than the old white M70? :huh: :hmmm: :yes: :cool:

This is gonna sound kinda foul, but I think I may be glad that your wife ran over the original white M70! :-P

Do me a favor... When you get a chance, THANK HER for me! :thumbsup: :lol: :cool:

...the paint on the handle holds up very well. I haven't had any problems yet...and yes, I usually apply a couple coats of clear on the handle. Duplicolor makes a nice, hard, all purpose clear coat...gets hard as nails.

Thanx Melly
and do you wait a full 24 hours before you apply the next coat?
{sorry guys, I know this isn't Tech forum}

Cheers OSS :afro:

...nah, I dry each coat with a hair dryer...takes just a few minutes. But once you are done with your coats let it sit and cure for 48 hours...then it will be hard as nails... :-D

:agree: ...you are right Mono...this one came out better. I was more patient and applied thinner coats and the paint came out glass smooth...trust me the pic's don't do it justice...thanks for all the kudos fellas... :-D

...I used Krylon gloss white plastic paint for the front, Duplicolor silver metallic import car paint for the back, Krylon high gloss black for the grills, and Duplicolor chrome for the tweets and mic's.....and Duplicolor clear coat on everything.....
