    custom paint on a detector,,,,,,really

    to bring up an oldy but a goody, i pose a question . would any body ever put a custom paint job on a metal detector box. most of the electronics on whites tectors are housed in a rectangular box under the upper rod which could be tricked out . this was a thread in the old forum i thought would be cool to hear some diff . ideas. i would have one side ----- a skull with seated halves and double eagles coming out of its eyeballs..... on the other side . a civil war cannon shooting out seated dimes.........what do you folks think about them apples/

    Cool idea, endless possibilities. I was thinking maybe spraying the sides of the box pearl white, with ghost flames? 8) 8) 8)

    I've thought about it.
    Maybe not so much custom art work, but just a single color....just to be different why not lol

    A few of the guitar builders use transfers. Plenty of styles at a low cost. I do believe they may have the ladies in stock.

    Paint the box a nice base color and decorate away.
