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!

Some better pictures with a real camera...

:lol: :lol: :lol: 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.

I used this, it is very close to the original silver with just a touch more sparkle in it.
