| i know they do, but for 50 dollars each, i'd rather spraypaint them (if possible). |

depending ont what color u get
i just checked my prosound mag and for yellow, blue, and red its $29.99
for black its $39.99
for chrome its $59.99
and for brass its $79.99
why would u want a brass finish though? :nervous: |

take the cover off before you paint it. otherwise you will get paint all over the motor..and well I dont know how good spray paint would be for a motor.
and dont spraypaint it..use an actual brush, will look much better |

just one thing before u do that
you'll probably forfeit ur warranty when u do take it off :) |

if they sell replacable covers then im pretty sure it must come off
i would suggest putting a couple clear coats on once you paint it though because it'll feel sticky otherwise and could even potentially turn into mush if they get really hot from using them for a long time or something
plus it'll look better :p |

oh btw
don't spraypaint them
get them airbrushed...it'll look so much better and cleaner |

| how much will it cost? |

| hey cheggy |
Definitely use an airbrush. I have one of these babies from when i used to make lots of models. They can make some seriously sick patterns. Great for blending more than one colour together and getting thin streaks. They also give a much cleaner finish than a spray can. You can buy them for around $70us.
I know someone who had pdx-2000s and he actually made his only covers out of metal. They look seriously mean. All molded and with a full trippy pitch adjust and all. |
