Beautiful Amp! Did It Come With The Black Plate Front? I Want To Black Mine Out And Not Sure How Too Go About Doing So. I Was Thinking Powder Coat Shop Or something Similar.

Congrats!

Yes. Came with the black plate.
I’ve read that this stuff - https://plastidip.com/product/plasti-dip-glossy/ works great to give it the blacked out look. Plus, if you want to go back to the polished aluminum, you can just peel the coating right off.

I Would Be Too Concerned Over Operator Error...LOL! I Think A Safer Bet For Me Would Be To Pay A Professional To Powder Coat It And Make It Professional And Permanent Since I Would Never Be Getting Rid Of The Amp. Me And A Spray Can Hoping For A Professional Look Scares Me! :)

I do like a big Mesa (or ten....) and I'm missing my RK after reading this: time to get it back from my (much rock-ier) mate, who's had mine on long-term loan.


It's true, I'm all heart :)

Mesa used to sell them in their parts shop in several colors. I don't know if they still do, however.

If not, you could probably have it anodized in a color you like. It might be a more authentic match than a powder coat. Shops like this will do it:

Electropolishing, Passivation | Aluminum & Hard Coat Anodizing | Stainless Steel Powder Coating Services

Electro Polish Company offers passivation, electropolishing, powder coating, black oxide finishing, plugging & masking, aluminum & hard coat anodizing services. Nobody turns your work faster than Electro-Polish and, when you are in a bind, we can meet your scheduling demands usually at no extra...

I Wonder What Mesa Does To The Plates To Black Them Out Fm The Factory? Is It A Coating Like In The Can? Anodized? Powder Coated? Plastic? Anybody Know?

Going by my BMX’er past:) and how the finish feels on mine, I’m going to say anodized. Has the same look and feel as the black colored aluminum parts I used on my bikes.
I’m not going to scratch it to find out, though.:p:D
