I don't see what the problem would be. I see many custom paint jobs on amps. Were you thinking of doing it yourself or getting a shop to do it?

Hi Temp engine enamel is the bomb. I painted a considerable amount of fibreglass in a car with it and it turned out great. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Yup... because of the heat inside the amp.

^ I use it because it's an enamel and enamels tend to be self levelling and they dry glossy.

Cuts down on the color sanding and polishing [img]smile.gif[/img]
