    A sad day: my speakers nekkid no more...

    Here's the grueling process photo-documented (but I did restrain myself and didn't quite go for the "waiting for paint to dry" bore fest it could have turned out to be).

    Click here for more details of this long process.

    Patman, looks good :T

    As a finishing touch I'd dip one of those Q-tips in black paint and tone down all those shiney chrome screw heads

          Pr@, if it makes you feel any better, if I knew what I was getting myslef into at the start of the process, I don't think I'd do it again (i.e. a few cans of primer and black spray paint look better and better to me...)

              Nice looking job, Pat! A lot of detail work, and yes, it's a bit tedious, but then look at what you have when you get through.

              Nice job of documenting it on your web site, too!

              Best regards,

              Jon

                Thanks!

                I definitely have a deeper appreciation to handcrafted exteriors for speakers.
