Can't wait for the next episode, great job so far🤒

Really looking forward what the end result will be... Keep up the good work, Evan. 🤒

Can't quite imagine what this is going to look like atm. But certainly interesting!

Was the panel really beyond recovering by a pro metal polisher?

Thanks everyone! I have to work today and tomorrow so it is going to move at a snail's pace until next week.

My goal is to match the top to the sides and front of the BeoMaster and BeoGram CD. After all, the only color option available on the BeoSystem 4500 is white.

Yes, unfortunately the panels are long gone.

Maybe I will do the same to mine. Good job.

Good work and great pics. I read elsewhere on here that some mirror panels have the flat grey factory paint finish underneath, some people were just removing the polished layer to reveal the near new factory grey finish underneath. I think this was on the 9500 mirror panels. not sure it applies to the 4500.

Hello BeoTexas,

Thank you, first off! I'm pretty sure that what you are referring to is the BeoSystem 3500 that has a grey top coat.

I encourage you do the same Richard, if your panels are showing their age, this is a great alternative to freshen up the look.

Hello and welcome back!

By now the lid's first coat of paint is well dried and is ready for more.

Before it left my "library" for more paint, I used some more 400 grit sandpaper to knock down some of the imperfections and paint build up from the first session.

Here, I have elevated the lid onto a pair of found baskets from the garage. I can now spray the ultra-thin front and side edges of the metal component. Be prepared for some precision tape work!

It is hard to tell the difference, but another spraying is complete.

Here in the early evening, I am annoyed with curious insects. I must protect the finish! The lid has been moved inside the screened in porch to dry.

Keeping a flawless finish is getting increasingly more difficult. Little fibers seem to be attracted to the wet surface, as well as other particles. Very trying!
