Mesa Rectifier Diamond Plate - Painted Orange

[SublimeDoinTime]

Had to share this because I've searched the internet and haven't seen one yet. I use Orange ppc212c cabs so I thought I'd compliment them with some orange on my Triple Recto. I used the ol' Hairdryer method to remove the faceplate.

That looks like the Mesa gear Metallica plays with at the San Francisco Giants games! Well done.

Nice. Did you remove it somehow? I can't figure out a way to get mine off without risking dmage to the shell, is there a trick?

Im sure it requires a lot of patience.

It does take some patience. As long as you are very careful when lifting the plate off of the board (don't slide a metal ruler underneath the plate and push down to use the board as leverage to lift the plate). Just keep lifting it straight up with a metal ruler or something similar. This will take you about 20-30 min to do, so just be patient.

And you need to scuff the plate up pretty good. I primed it overnight with 2 coats, then put 2 coats of Rustoleum Gloss Orange Painter's Touch spray paint. Let it sit for 24-36 hours to be sure it was completely dry.

You have to remove all of the adhesive off the plate and board because its basically useless. Just get some 3M double-sided adhesive to replace the old stuff.

I get my Orange ppc412hp in this week to go with my ppc212c, so I will have a 3/4 stack. Also go an Amber jewel light coming in this week, so I will be sure to upload a picture of my entire stack on Friday/Saturday.

Thanks for the kind responses! First time every posting on a forum.

Very cool. I've thrown around the idea of painting the diamond plate on my Single Rec. Nice job.
