Has anyone used plasti-dip to paint amps?

Post by machinemike »

I have several zx and zx/ti amps I am going to use in my install that is taking forever to get done. They have different finishes and I would like them to match. I was thinking about painting them with plasti-dip since it is removable. Has anyone tried this? Anybody have an opinion or suggestion about if it will work?

Planning to use most of my old stuff and buy some new.

I think it would be too thick, and the sheet metal parts would no longer fit together.

No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.

That stuff may act like a blanket and cause the amp to retain heat.
