First time Crack builder here. I looked through the forum and saw posts where others had painted the wrong side or both and immediately stripped the paint off, but is it necessary for only one side?I understand that having both sides painted is bad, but what if I only painted the one wrong side? Would it matter to the build if the power, RCAs and knobs were flipped or should I strip it and start again? I would rather not screw up the build so if it could lead to wiring problems down the line, or confusion during wiring, I’ll start over but I can’t tell if it would or not. Thanks!

I would just paint the correct side and scrape off the paint on the wrong side around terminal 3, the volume pot, and the chassis safety ground by the power entry module.

Yes, what PB says. You don't want to try to build the circuit on the wrong side of the panel.
