Thank you for the compliment, AB.
I painted the horns after scraping and sanding them to a smooth base condition. I applied an ACRYLIC etch-primer(spray can), spot filled, sanded and re- primed a few casting flaws and then applied the ACRYLIC finish coats{spray can}.
I wished to have that black finish similar to the original Altec finish and very similar to that of black auto GT stripes and auto side window surround trim. This was readily available as a pro paint in a spray can - at a price.
The price was a problem because I intended to use the same paint for the cabs, also. In hindsight not a good idea due to limited applicaton fan width.
I found a DIY(cheaper) auto acrylic in spray cans with the right lustre and used that. It worked out fine on the horns.
Lustre: Not MATT, not SATIN. In between but closer to matt. An auto paint store will know what it is. Go for the better product if you are only using it for horns or small pieces.
Regards, Marshall.
