IF YOUR BUILDING YOUR OWN SPEAKER CABINETS
THINK ABOUT THIS ,INSTEAD COVERING THE CABINETS WITH THE TOLEX ,GO TO YOUR LOCAL COMPANY THAT SPRAYS
RINO BED LINERS .SPRAY A LIGHTER COAT THAN YOU WOULD ON A TRUCK BED , AND IF THEY DO IT RIGHT IT WILL LOOK JUST LIKE TOLEX . THEY WILL NEVER GET SCRATCH UP OR TORN.
BETTER YET FIND THE COMPANY THAT SPRAYS THE MATERIAL
ON WITH HEAT THIS DOES A LOT BETTER JOB AND HAS A NICER FINISH. AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT DO THIS MOST WONT EVEN CHARGE VERY MUCH.IVE DONE TWO SETS AND I THINK PAID AROUND $40.00 PER SET |

| Years ago Peavey had some sort of a textured spray finish they used on some of their speakers. I really liked it, when it got scuffed and dirty all you had to do was touch it up with some black paint and it was good as new. Maybe it was "splattered epoxy"?? It looked kind of like textured drywall. Does anyone know what that finish was called and if the product is still available? |

| This is an idea I had years ago when I first seen the truck bed cover spraying. I thought it would be good for cases too. I am sure that this is what Carvin is using on their Stagemate speakers, which are great little speakers with built in power that even runs on batteries for about $375.00 or so, I think. |

| I tried the stuff you can get at pep boys in the spray can and found that it doesnt adhere to wood as it does metal.I tried spraying several coats on the cabinets and it looked like spray paint..globbed up spray paint. As mentioned earlier a pro installer might have better results. |

THE SPRAY CANS WILL NOT WORK YOU HAVE TO GET THE PROS TO DO IT . YOU HAVE DIFFERENT COMPANYS THAT DO THIS
RINO BED LINER IS ONE ,THAT WORKS GOOD .BUT THEY NEED TO UNDER STAND NOT TO SPRAY TO MUCH .
THERES ANOTHER COMPANY THAT PUTS THE PRODUCT ON HOT THIS HAS A MUCH BETTER LOOKING FINISH.AND I HAVE DONE CASES WITH THIS IT WORKS GREAT.I DONT HAVE THE NAME OF THAT COMPANY I SEEN THEM AT A BOOTH IN A FISHING EXPO ONE WEAKEND |
