New amp day! Armored content…

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.
I Have Seen Various Colors In The Baby Recto's But Not The Full Size Ones. I Will Have To Call And Check...Thanks For The Heads Up! :)

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:

 
Seems easy enough.
I think I need my controls blacked out…:)

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
