tigerwoodKhorns Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 What type of paint do you use for a motorboard? Need a smooth satin black finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don't know what type speakers so I'll just post for my use/results. I use Krylon specialty high heat. It was just an experiment on original reference series subwoofer front. The finish is not satin but a matte type black. The Krylon was perfect, looks just like original, I'm pretty picky. It goes on fast and smooth like flat paints, but has a better finish, very slight sheen. The best part, it was $4 and change delivered from Amazon so testing on anything is cheap enough. Of course we all have different expectations and results, ymmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one might work better: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon-FUSION-ALL-IN-ONE-Matte-Black-Spray-Paint-and-Primer-In-One-NET-WT-12-oz/1000460293 I remember the old high heat paint from the 80s and 90s being brittle. I guess a rattle can is the way to go. This is for the front and back of a pair of JBL L100s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaSHO Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 May not be as smooth as you're looking for, but I used Duratex: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
