new life into m90 pic heavy

[bklyn sound]

well guys i had gotten this geourgus m90 a while ago ...first thing i did was pull it apart to clean all the speakers and give a good cleaning. This is a fully functioning m90 so i wanted it to look just like it sounds

so the first thing I did was go hunting for the color at the body shop supply but this guy who im dealing with for over 20 years wanted 55$ a can for the paint needless to say i told him he was outta his mind. so now I thought I was stuck but thats when a boombox angel stepped in... that person was blu fuz Joe was able to get the color matched for me and at a very reasonable cost so a big thankyou to him ....

so now that i had all the cards in a row let the games begin. First thing was a complete tear down... every part was washed then prepped to paint. Wasn't really shure what to do with tweeter bezels at first but as I went along with this i got a great idea for them. First was to strip the entire finish... I taped them off to save the black around the outer part. I sprayed with a bright silver 3 coats.. then i gave a good 3 coats of gloss clear.

When it was cured i taped off the silver and used a flat black around the bezels just like the originals. They came out fantastic. the box recieved 2 coats of color and 3 coats of a matte clear. Grills were also stripped and painted with a semi gloss black...all the chrome was polished and put back together

here are the pics before and after

I see the bond between Jimmy and Frank is stronger than just being old friends. Apparently, they both graduated from Michelangelo School for Boombox Restoration with honors.

Great work, Jimmy!!! :super:

[bklyn sound]

Wow ... Thank you for all the great positive comments... It was a great box to start with just really needed a good paint job... And yes that's the same box I started with Ira that is a custom color courtesy of Blu fuzz hey bobby Frankie is my brother.. Runs in the family forgot this pic after I fixed the chrome under the tuner glass

Damn! Your m90 makes my m90 look like Skippy's m90
(That means it looks fantastic)
Nice work as usual, jimmy!

 

[redbenjoe]

jimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ????

HOW did you fix the chrome under the tuner galss ??

did you have to pound out any dents ?
did you use that duplicolor chrome spray ?

( i simply used a carefully cut strip of chrome tape on mine --
its looks like new --except --we can all tell -- its tape )

 

[jaetee]

WOW~~~~!!!! Great work, Jimmy!

I think I need to get my hands on some of that paint. How can I make that happen?

Now I'm really feeling motivated to clean up the top of my M90!

 

[mellymelsr]

ira i took off the stainless trim ...I wanted it to match the tweeter bezels so i took a flat chisel and a hamer and gently pounded out the dent until it was almost not noticable..then i sanded the stainles ,primed it then put 2 coats of color 3 coats of a gloss clear on top as for the chrome strip i used automotive pin stripe in a metalic silver right over the chrome and it matches the top and bezels perfectly i use the automotive pin stripe because its so thin and easy to work with
