...all the colored JVC's I customized myself. I also painted the M90 and it is flawless. It's something I like to do in my spare time. Thank you very much for the compliment.

The red M70 is Inferno Red Pearl a Dodge color, The blue M70 is Blue Sapphire Pearl a Dodge color, The white M70 is Brilliant White with a pearl clear coat, and the M90 is Tungsten Pearl Grey a GM color. I used canned spray paint for all of them. trust me when I say the prep work is the most difficult part of a professional looking paint job. I strip every box I paint down to the plastic case and the sand it before painting. That takes hours of work. But the result is well worth it.

Oh ok I think iam going 2 try it on one of my I931how fine was the sanding paper did u primer it b4 u painted it 2

600 grit sandpaper. No primer. I spray very thin coats of paint (3-4) and heat dry each coat for 15 minutes, then I apply 2-3 coats of clear drying each coat for 15 min with hot air. It creates a very smooth, hard as nails finish that looks much better than the original paint.

Alright iam going 2 get the supplies and try it out ill send u a pic as soon as iam done thanks for the idea and info

hey mel....how do you do the re-lettering once youve repainted

I actually mask off around the lettering, usually at the nearest seam. The only one I am re-doing the lettering on is the white M70...
Here are some examples...
