Ok im done, very happy with the end results.
I had a few mistakes along the way such as paint going inside the box and onto the back of the tuner glass but i guess its all a learning curve.

This will not be to everybodys taste, but what the hey.

The Crown 950 Shades of Rust.

ENJOY.

What happened there was I masked the front of the glass but didnt think to do the back, then when I painted it some paint went inside and hit inside face of the glass. i didnt really notice it till it was pretty much back together.
I have to take the front back off at some point to reattach two wires so will try and clean it off then.

Thanks again for all the comments guys, I really enjoyed this project.

WOW! Painting a boombox to make it look old and rusted. That is better than trying to make it look new. :lol:
Great Job! :thumbsup:

That was my first thought too. It is definitely unique and one-of-a-kind. How many different kinds of paint did you use for the effect?

I purchased a can of this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170880834093?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It sprays four colours at once and even gives a rusty texture to the surface. Unfortunately I only got 1 can and ran out of paint, so I had to do trip to the local hardware store and got a can of matt choc brown and autumn orange to finish off.

The marker pen was not first choice, I did have some vinyl stickers but they wouldn't stick to the rust. I may even change it later :cool:

This bug was my inspirational picture.
