    Old Style VS. New Style

    Anyone know when Firewire started the new style of boards that are quiet a bit whiter then the older first run of Dominators? Was looking at a 6'0" Dominator and was wondering if it was newer or older since it is painted gray.

    Let me know,

    you may have a seen an older board and sometimes there is a little discoloration? wee have only ever produced white boards, but as with any manufacturer of white boards, if you see a rack with boards that vary in age, there may be a few shades visible.

    Thanks all

    Some of the very early ones came in full color sprays didn't they? Unless they were just sprayed aftermarket...

    it would have actually been digiprint nose to tail. But i am meaning to say that we never changed the "all white" approach to a great enough degree that would have created a discontinuity in the appearance of standard FST boards...

    Good to know, as some of the colored ones on craigslist are probably Gen 1.
