The smile on your daughters face and the look of pride is what it's all about! GREAT WORK!

.....and it matches so well with her blue top & shorts.....a boombox uniform

Looks great.

Although I hope for the best, should it ever get stolen at school or something, its almost a guaranteed win to get it back.
There are hundreds of members watching ebay , craigslist etc. Someone trying to resell that wonderfully unique box wouldnt stand a chance :

THAT IS GORGEOUS!!! OMG!!!

SO is YOUR DAUGHTER. What a lucky girl she is!

That machine is STUNNING!

All I can say is WOW.

What kind of paint does one use for something like this, not that I would even try it.... Just curious.

...for this project I used Chrysler Pearl Blue from a spray can...painting was the easy part, the prep work takes many long hours....

Unbelievable - what an awesome outcome!

How many hours to you think you sunk into that?

...if you include stripping the front case, prep, sanding, paint, and putting it back together...about 12 hours...

Top notch...I like metallic colors on boxes because they aren't as glossy as solids, so it looks like it could almost be the original paint.
