A few months back I got my hands on a Helix HX-4636. I’ve been meaning to give her a good cleaning and to reattach a broken off corner screw post since the case seemed a little loose. I finally got around to opening her up and found out that both lower corner posts were cracked off at their bases. After reattaching, gluing and clamping the posts I further reinforced them with small pools of cured glue since the posts are located in recessed squares. I placed a makeshift cone of painter’s tape in the screw holes to avoid glue from getting in there. I think it’s safe to say these won’t be cracking off anytime soon.
Since I had her open I decided to clean and respray all the grills as well. It was annoying prying off the mic grills as the chrome mic grill holders were glued to the case and I had to slowly drill holes to bore them out.
I tried my best to color match the turquoise/teal accents of the graphics and found Montana BLACK had a matching color in matte finish.
I hit the grills with a few coats and VOILA!!! It definitely now has that retro 80’s, tacky but tasteful color palette (bright, neon and loud af) that screams for attention.
I think it really pops and looks ****in badass!!! This one is a keeper. I know it’s not for everyone… but let me know what you guys think, dope af
or GTFOH hideous 
?!!
