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
