Someone ask Rich what his board is made out of, it's painted and hard to tell from the photos. |
My radio board and trunk box are made from plywood and painted all black. I chose to paint them. I did not like the look of bare plywood in my trunk. Robert Read who works for the CHP Motor Transport installed all my CHP board/radios stated most all radio boards were NOT painted. Only a few were painted. Mine might not look correct to some but I like the finished look of black paint. I hope this helps.... Rich
