Anyone who pays attention to my posts here (oh and profingersk8er
) might know that I'm currently building a MAD EAR+ Purist into a Wellbourne Labs wood case.
Unortunately, when I was drilling the aluminium top panel of the case, it got quite badly scratched in places. Now I'm trying to decide whether to spend hours with some sandpaper trying to get the finish back, or to paint it over in black. I want to keep it looking classy, and I'm afraid that black paint might ruin that.
This is the case
Incase it affects your opinion, one or both of these knobs will be mounted on the front of the case
Here is an artists impression of how it would look in black, courtesy of wo^tron of bit-tech
I really can't decide, so any input would be appreciated!
P.S. Yeah, that is a Black Gate WKZ capacitor at the back... I just couldn't resist once I saw how purdy they are... maybe I should concentrate more on the sound than the looks, but I guess I can't go wrong with that one
