Without using the flash it looks far better!

Very nice Craig. Very bold, but I like it! Would want this if I ever get my hands on a black Beosystem 7000, and a white version for my white 6500 :)

I can see why B&O lumped for grey as it's a more universal colour.

It does not look too bad in the pictures, maybe because of the flash. When it is in front of you, there is quite a difference betwwen the two blacks.

Here are the pictures of the black one. This one I think really needs the bottom panel doing to match too.

Another great result! Could've been a factory choice. The bottom panel looks great on the pictures. I think I'd leave it alone unless you can reproduce the logo properly.

I cannot believe I am just now finding this!

This is incredible. I really want to paint my Beo4 but I can't bring myselfto do it. It is practically out of box fresh. Only 2 years old. Half the time I don't even pick it up when I use it! I just sit it on the coffee table.

I am sure b&o use to publicise the fact these controls were made of some sort of zinc alloy or similar. Not sure that helps though!

They are some sort of cast alloy. So that would make sense. Also done a black one today. Didn't bother to strip that though, as I wanted to see if the recoat setting on the gun would work. Which it did, but I should have flashed the metal first. Got a few tiny imperfections which I am not happy about.

The body is (at least that should advice to not drop it in HCl ). But the top plate is definitely aluminum in Beo4, not quite sure of the BL1000.

Looks great Craig, what about the rest? It would be a challenge to try a complete different color other then black, grey or white. What about dark blue, red or yellow in glossy.

Well I did try a Green one as I had to do some jobs in that Colour. It had a bit of an accident in the oven though. So I need to strip it, and try again. At least I now know how to jig them up.

Looks good Craig. Were you not tempted to do the bottom plate too?

White is suprisingly difficult to photograph so you can really assess the result, but seems like that one would look really nice in person, Craig!

I'll seriously consider making one myself as the regular BL 1000 looks really boring to me nowadays.

Well as promised some pictures for you. Here is the one I powder coated white.
