Subject: Any color variations planned?
Author: MarcusP (06:18PM, Jan 22, 2009)
 
I've been selling the Outcast for almost a year now, and the one question ALL of my customers ask is "does it come in other colors?". I was just wondering if there are plans in the pipeline for different colors. I understand that the current neutral color is impervious to fading, but it is a frequently asked question, nonetheless. Some suggestions have been black, red, camouflage and urban camouflage. I see you have a colored one in your Youtube section; I presume this was a custom job. If so, was it painted, airbrushed or decoupaged?

One of the most difficult things about an outdoor product of any kind is Mr. Sun. We have built the OutCast to be impervious to the elements. The color for now is the color it is going to be for a while. We are using a 100 watt digital amplifier that has no heat sinking and no ventilation. If we paint the unit a dark color there is no way to bleed off that heat and the amp will fail. There is a possibility that we have discovered a new paint that is more white and that will show up in May-June productions but for now anything other than standard color is painted by third parties. Our Warranty is void if the unit has been disassembled for any reason (we have a tricky way of knowing this).

OutCast Jr. is beginning to ship in March and it is a whiter color. Let us know what you think.

I do note that there is a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/soundcastsystems off the Outcast site for vinyl graphics wraps for the Outcast listed as the Artist series. this has the advantage of being replacable when Mr. Sun does his worst, and it probably protects the underlying plastic. I would guess you could make it look however you like, since is sounds like custom graphics..............probably with custom price, but it would look WAY COOLer than a color! On the bright side the vinyl graphics is probably way cheaper than snowboard graphics.
