Experiments

During the next couple of weeks we decided that the sound system needed to be painted in a different typer of paint. The colour would stay the same but we needed to find a different type of paint to use. The primer that we had originally painted the cabinets with had become scuffed and marked and so began researching different paint types.
The vinyl  paint that many people use on speaker cabinets is far too expensive for us to use until a brain wave came to Rick and he suggest vinyl floor paint. We bought four litres over the internet from a large vinyl company and when it arrived the massive task of re-painting began.

Because the paint is rather thick and potent we needed to paint each one outside. The mammoth task of unloading each driver removing the black bolts and commencing painting began. This in total took us three weeks to complete. Each speaker needed two thick coats and couldn't be moved or touched until the layers were dry. There were some mornings where my dad would get up to go to work and id be sat inside one of the cabinets painting. This was again another long task of 4-6 hours a day.
