I'm confused, is that a laminate or real wood face?

Solid oak, stained with Red Mahogany to match B&C.

Primer needs sanding, then black gets put down...

Stained



Masked off



Paint booth set up




Center channel has now been primered, sanded with 220, primered again, sanded lightly with 220 and 400, primered again and wet sanded with 400 and 800.




This has been by far the best paint job I have done so far. Cant lie, real proud of myself.....

I knew my eyes weren't deceiving and I was too lazy to look at the beginning pics. The front face looked odd with the stained real wood and the plain jane face for the tweeter. Nice work Joey.

Thanks guys!

I thought my paint booth was quite ingenious. I wish my tarp was 6 inches longer to really seal it up but it does a great job, and I use a standing fan to push a little more air in there...

Thanks CP. I was looking for some sort of little accent to throw on B&C and I carried it over on to here, though I don't have the same router bit as I did when I did B&C. Most people won't notice, just mine perfectionism....

Thanks again guys! hoping to ge it sanded down tonight and hopefully can move on to laying black....

Do you block sand in back and forth motion?

Have started hopefully the final wet-sanding of the primer. got the 400 wet-sanding on the port baffle done. going to step up to 800 and then hopefully 1000 tomorrow or Friday. Pics when black is getting put down.

Ready for the broken record?

I HATE FINISHING.





Question. Should I pull up the masking and re-lay it, or do I just keep on going and put the black down?

Are you seriously letting it dry before you pull the tape?

Well. From your post I'm guessing I'm WAY OFF.

Balls.

yea man.. it creates a way smoother line and you dont have to worry about peeling up any of your new finish if you pull the masking up ASAP after you've sprayed a coat....
