Painting Woofers-Any Tips?

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi,I'm ready to paint my GF-9494 woofers and I got the Krylon Fusion
Dover White 2422 paint.
I need to ask some members here how far away to hold the can and
how long to spray.

I just want to do a good job.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated,my 9494 has been in parts for
months!!
Thanks.

I usually hold the can about 12 to 15 inches away - any closer and the paint might go on too thick. You don't really want a heavy coat of paint. Go for something like a nice, even dusting of paint. Just make sure that the speakers have been cleaned of all dirt, dust, hair, etc. beforehand. Be sure and take some before and after pics.

Thanks Bobby,will do.
I finally got the right paint.
Your right too little is better than to much!
One tip I got from Frank was he used light multiple
coats.

Thanks for the tips Bobby,will try to paint this
afternoon or tomorrow.

with bobby just want to dust the paper very very light also i found using a vitimin bottle or some sought of plastic cap to protect the chrome cap works the best and also paint from all sides so its even ....meaning turn the speaker

Ford uses fabric spray instead of actual paint --to insure a lighter coat -
i used his = worked great

The fabric spray paint you can find it in auto parts store.

It worked great on my M-90 woofers to this day the woofers look & sound great.

Now now!!
Be nice to Ira!!

Operation successful!!!
I used a cap off my Lawry's seasoning,was a perfect fit!!
I did go from different angles and turned speaker a bit.
Very happy with how they came out!
Nice a creamy white-just like original.

I now have it back together but still need belts for the deck and a idler
wheel.
FF's & Rew. Fine but in play it won't advance because the idler tire
is so worn that it won't rub up against the play/ff wheel.

Just need a idler tire and a spring,mines wore out from the old extra
9191 deck I have.plus it's slightly smaller in diameter.
What I need is a idler tire wheel that rubs up against the capstan.
Yes that's re-tubed also.

I'm so close-1 antenna and these cassette parts and it's a go!
I will take photos tomorrow of my project it it's current stage.
Looks so much nicer with the painted woofs!
Thanks guys!
