[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 127106, member: 3"] I used ABS plastic. Cost me all of R 60 for both speakers. My speakers never get sunlight, and I tend not to use steelwool, etc on them so they are holding up pretty well! In my view there are 3 elements to a good spray job: 1. Surface prep 2. Paint to catalyst to thinner ratio - viscosity 3. Technique If you get those things right, then you have a statistically excellent chance at getting a good finish. The hardest thing to learn is the technique, followed by the corect viscosity. It took me quite a number of attempts to get the hang of it. Be sure to buy enough sandpaper to allow you a number of trial and error jobs! Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
