vipergts2207 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Can anyone tell me what kind of paint Klipsch uses on the base of their Reference Premiere speakers? My girlfriend was sweeping and hit my week old R-110SW and there is now a small area on one of the front corners where the paint has been scuffed off. It's about a quarter of an inch long and about an eighth of an inch wide, so just big enough for me to notice and bug the hell out of me. I want to touch it up with the appropriate paint, but am not quite sure of even what type of paint to use. I contacted Klipsch support to see if they could give me any details on the paint they use and am still awaiting a response. I've seen reference on the forum to a Valspar #40 black lacquer, but usually people are talking about painting Heritage line speakers with that. Is this the same paint they use on RP line of speakers? The closest thing I've been able to find is Valspar gloss black lacquer spray paint.

pzannucci Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I doubt you will ever match the paint exactly. It is a specialized process for application and once dinged, should be done over. That said, you can probably get a semi-gloss or matte black (if you can't find semi-gloss) paint from Home Depot or many hardware stores and apply that with a small brush. Several coats letting each dry over just the scrape until it fills. The scrape should be pretty much hidden at that point. Don't use flat or gloss black, a semi-gloss or matte would be best to hide it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
