There's a little sparkle in it, nigh on impossible to get the right shade in a completely flat version. I like a little bit of sparkle just to freshen it up a bit but given the choice I'd probably go completely original. I think the colour itself is pretty spot onHisrudeness said:Paint turned out well. Was there any flake in the paint match or was it pretty flat? I'm wondering whether to mask and reprint a 9292 I just got.
To be honest when I saw the original pics that was my intention...I thought as it was never gonna be right I might as well have some fun with it. But it's turned out so well I'm not gonna mess with it. If I did I'd only put some in the vents by the tweeters as you could do it without adapting the casingCpl-Chronic said:Good job, now put some LEDs in there & make it dance, beeeeoooy!!!
