the_outsider Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I have a pair of KG 3.2's that have been used and abused. As a result, the black finish needs to be "repainted". Can anyone tell me of an exact partnumber of say minwax stain that i should use to bring it back to its original black finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 The finish is probably black lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Here's a thread that hits most of the items you are likely to run into. http://216.37.9.58/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002408.html I'm in the midst of refinishing my black Chorus speakers, using this info as a guideline. I've just tested it on the bottom of one of them -- here's what I've done: 0) Removed the grills and completely covered and sealed the front of the speaker using cardboard (used a piece from an old poster frame) and blue masking tape (the light adhesion stuff). Covered the back, and completely masked, using "two-ply" newspaper. 1) Cleaned the surface using a deglosser from Home Depot to remove any oil or whatever might have been on them before I acquired them. 2) Sanded lightly using 220 grit sandpaper. 3) Applied two light coats of Rustoleum 7777 spray, allowing one hour between coats. Am giving it 48 hours to cure, then will decide if I want to give it a wet-sand with 400 or 600 grit paper before the final coat. Looks pretty good so far, so I may not do that step. Since we are covering an already finished black surface, alot of the between-coat sanding is not necessary. The 7777 is a bit shinier than the factory finish, but I like it. Good luck!
