I have had a lot of interest in them, but people want to hear them before they make that kind of commitment...


AF, you have any tips with using automotive paint for this application? Do I need to thin it down a little more or will it be ok out of the can?
I dunno, never sprayed speaker boxes. Just do some sample spraying on a similar piece of material and adjust the air/paint mixture as neccessary. Fine coats are much easier to work with, look deeper and are flatter than thick coats.

Remember to hold the gun 6-8" away at a 45 degree cut as well.
