Eventually I bought a brand new fret that cost me more than the spray paint of the case, but you know B&amp;O prices! I think the only way to change the colour of frets is to remove the original fabric &amp; glue the one you wish to have, prevented it is an acoustically neutral one. However I think the fabric is thermo-glued, so it might not be an easy task either. I tried also to have no fret at all, but this time the BeoCenter looked too StarWars ![:&#39;(] , but on the dark side..<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/111561.aspxFri, 02 May 2008 15:15:00 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:111561Stars0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/111561.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=111561Nice job Chris, I think your BC1 looks great in white.
