I don't think you'll get much of a patina with that lacquer on there. It might get dull and scratched though.

Edcor being lazy.

Morons. I like the sky blue, the grass green and my coffee and transformers BLACK. Is it so hard to understand?

Man... DiyAudio eats it's own. No longer is it good enough to produce high quality goods, paying it's workers reasonably, offering affordable custom services (10 unit minimums to waive the reasonable $40 setup fee), and do it all for what qualifies as cheap. No... they are lazy and morons...
I've read more than one thread wondering why more people don't make products for the DIY crowd. This thread is your answer.
Well, if you do 90 percent of the work right why not do it completely right? It doesn't take much effort. I dont think Edcor are morons, but to suggest we want pink transformers when there's no black option and 90 percent of the chassis are black or silver is a bit moronic. Still, I sounded rude. Apologies.
Exactly right. There are a lot of people here that evidently can't, or refuse to, acknowledge economic reality. But they think we're the morons?

Only if the endbells are given enough break-in time with the correct selection of frequencies....
RundmausPersonally, it's not the color I mind so much as the rather tacky logo, which I've never been close enough to detect wasn't paint as well.
If I was ever to order iron from Edcor, I'd just be sure to order a spare set of raw end bells for each, And yeah, I'd probably still get them powder coated - I'm just a sucker for the two tone "vein" finishes, which is not the easiest to achieve with a spray bomb.

I remember seeing gray end bell for PT on their website couple years ago. I guess they bagged that option.

You're right, it can take several thousand hours of break-in time or music to achieve a satisfactory "End-bell Equilibrium Curve".
Otherwise they will be quite unlistenable to all but the most unsophisticated audiophile.
I'm certainly glad that you brought up this extremely important fact, as it doesn't receive the attention or emphasis that it deserves!
Thank you for your pertinent observation.

I personally think that the Blue is nice, it matches the engine of my 71 Ford Maverick nicely
It also complements my "All-American" eyes...Red, White and Blue!

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm sure this subject has been beat to death many times over, but I wanted to share my thought process on painting Edcor's unpainted end bells. So here goes....
1) Edcor states their unpainted end bells are covered in oil and need to be cleaned. My thought was to hang them on a coat hangar outside and use brake cleaner to remove the oil and anything else that might be on it.
2) After the break cleaner clean, my next thought was to run them through the dishwasher and when the wash was done blow them off with compressed air.
3) Now the tricky part, should I or should I not prime? I am actually using a can of paint obtained from Chrysler parts. There is nothing on the can about priming, but I am also assuming the can is made for professionals who know what they need to do. So, do I prime?
4) Do I bake afterwards?
Thanks much
Ray
