Dieselpunk Stereophonic Amplifier

Step 6 Paint

Clean all surfaces and parts with a tack rag. Mask off the back of the connectors and other parts you don't want painted like the handle. Lay a coat of primer. Sand to a smooth finish. Next comes the final color painting. Paint the overall box hammertone. Paint the speaker grill, brass nuts and brass elbows silver. Flat black was used on the nut retaining chains, top layer compartment divider and bass vent grill.

Want Steampunk? Instead of a Dieselpunk theme you can select a color scheme to make your box look more Steampunk. For example, instead of gray hammertone, use bronze hammertone. Paint the grills gold and leave the brass parts as is. The choice is yours!
