    Default Speaker paint

    I’ve got a couple of NJD painted speakers and they look a bit tatty so I’ve been thinking of repainting them.
    Does anyone know the paint best to use and where to get it from, currently the finish is textured matt black?

    Thanks

    You could cover them in a thin carpet ?

    I could if I was any good at laying carpet.

    On a slightly different note, does any one know where I can get sub covers from? I can find plenty of covers for tops, hopefully I could then keep the speakers looking good for a bit longer.

    Name me one make of professional speakers* whom covers their boxes in carpet, Nigel.


    (*other than Nexo Alpha, which is a very old design and AFAIK carpet finish is still available as an option)

    I would highly recommend Alco Leather, PM me if you want their details. They make bespoke padded covers, we had some made for our Q-SUBs a couple of months ago, excellent quality & good service.
