will do that.

will add a rubber lining also! already got that

u r right. it's a extra speaker cover from a car accessories shop.

wanted to ask, where u guyz get da rubber lining?

i beleive most of the hardware shop have it try to ask and see.

Ya...what equipment you are using to cut and drill the holes ??
Guess you need to trim them up abit...to make it more smoother interface ...

Many hardware shop don't sell it. You have to buy it at electrical shop, the ones that sell wires, sockets....... PPL normally use it for lining main power supply box.

woot, taiko gmail starting his mod already...hope to see a nice outcome from this.

i get it from my father friend car acc shop.

use metal scissors to cut

will smoother it!

Fast fast give some updates!!!

UPDATE: 23/8/2006

nth much 4 2day update coz gone 2 mv this morning then came home also 4pm liao

after that raining so only can spray 3 panel!

used TOA spray (black & clear) for this mod.


sprayed & unspray panel compare


only spray liao 3 panels


sprayed top panel


sprayed rear


mirror effect (2 coats of black + 1 coat of clear coat)

Wait for the paint to harden, then finish it off by sanding it to a better mirror shine!!!

If u dunno how, ask ianho
[Coz i oso don't know how to sand painted part ]

if you are lazy to sand and want a bit of mirror finish theres a short cut. just spray gloss.. gives u that shine & a better finish

uiks.. got eyh gloss spray.. huuhh..
if that so.. hehhe next mod

Quick....I wanna see how you're going to piece it together to get the inverted case. Maybe I'll get some idea out of this.

Mirror shine is all about sanding n polishing. All other ways is not called mirror shine. Just spraying n leaving to dry is not called mirror shine. Clear coat is not a way to make it shine either. Clear dries out to the same exact finish as any other color gloss paint. It does not add any extra shine. Clear coat is there purely to protect metallic coats. NOT to add shine. Real mirror shine is a minimum 3 week process with lotsa painting, drying, sanding, rubbing, polishing. That is the definition of mirror shine. I hope this clears up all confusion coz I c lotsa fellas getting confused n just calling any paint finish as mirror shine simply becoz there's a slight reflection on it.

Phew......... long old granpa story. OK, now everybody go find an old Milo tin to practice mirror shine.

ok ok
alaa.. kesian laa kat modder yg tak byk mse untuk mod like you.. huhuh

If minus the rubbing and polishing still can get near mirror shine?? Cuz its hard to get the correct polish

maybe bro ianho can guide us on mirror shine by doing us a guide...

Like what substance and paint used, how to polish , i saw a guide done by bro ianho on polishing to mirror shine but the guide is quite general not so detail..

Thanks bro ianho if u really want to do us a guide...

must ask uncle ian write a guide on it & pin it!

sorry 4 slow update this few days.

every morning also busy no time 2 mod

then evening weather not good so cannot do any spraying.

hope 2morrow will be a good day!
