Anyone Paint there Optima Yellow Top?
Thursday, October 26, 2006 7:45 PM
i'm trying to decide which on to go with. i like the deep cycle of the yellow top for obvious reasons, but that yellows gonna be an eye sore under the hood. the red top won't be - as much. but i was just wondering if anyone had repainted theirs? right now i could prolly just go with the red top cause i do not have @!#$ for stereo in the car, but i just wanted to go yellow just to get it over with.

prolly a stupid idea, but i wanted to knwo what you guys might think...

later - donnie

Red will be fine if you don't have much. Hell, I'm fine with a redtop (+ stock battery in trunk) and I'm running about 2000 watts total.

is it safe to have the stock battery in the trunk? wouldnt you want a sealed battery due to the fumes put off by your stock battery?

I need to get a box for it, but it's under my amp rack right now. I don't notice any fumes really. I'll be getting a second redtop eventually

Z2FLIP4 painted his yellow top. I'm almost positive he used automotive paint to do it.

its plastic, paint it like you'd paint anything else made of plastic. if you like running the system with the car off go with a yellow top. if you dont do that allot a red top will do you fine.

yup, I had a 1600 watt system and it ran just fine off of an optima red top battery, but i rarely ran it for a long time with the car off.....red tops are awsome if you don't run the car for a long time wihout the engine on


but as far as painting......go aheard....its just plastic
