Title: Opinions wanted [Custom LSD2 content]
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on April 23, 2008, 06:22:12 PM

Well it's now time to jump  all in.  The powdercoat test went great with the old shock piece that they made a replacement for.  Now the question remains..


1]  all black /  even the shock
2]  all black  / shock silver
3]  ala 422 one screen left silver all others black.

I've got a SP-LSD2 version 1 purchased from Nick'sPicks and couldn't be happier with the ALL black powder-coating!

I think you are actually on to something.  The powder coating increases the absortion ability of the case and limits reflections.  This aint snake oil folks!   ;)

Man there is a lot of parts in that shockmount!  Wow.

2 pieces left which I am leaving to the professionals.  Requires desoldering.  So I'm going to Busmans on Saturday.  While I had it open thought I'd take some pics..

I'd leave it silver, but if I were going black, I'd do everything except the screens.  Can you detach the little red SP logo, and then put it back on?  Mask the screw threads.  If the coating is very thick the threads will bind terribly.
