Custom Mic Paint Job

Page: 1

Jfllr1 72 posts Dec 30, 2009 10:50 AM	Some time soon I'm ordering a Shure 520 with a black CR from Chuck Gurney, and am umming and ahing about a custom paint job. Do you think I should? And if so what? Something eye catching and snazzy? Any help appreciated Cheers, Jack ---------- "Blow as thou pleaseth"

I have both, from a 520d shure and a CAD hm50(which is actually turquoise and chrome, not black and gold like most)? Both need to be reworked, so the sky's the limit. ---------- ~Todd L.
