Post Subject: How to create a rough horn surface.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/28/2008

Sure, it is a matter of personal preference but to my taste anything shiny of glossy should not be used in horn or in audio… unless you are French of course :-)  As far as I concern everything should be absolutely black, completely not glittery, have no reflection of any link and provide as less as possible visual impact. In my past even experimented with large drapes of black nylon covering the speakers. But it is me…

Anyhow, if to insists to use oil paints then it would worth to consider to pre-texture the surface before paint in order to have the defuseable surface instead of smooth one. A good solution would be to spay the horn with a layer of polyutherene and then while it is still wet to blow sand against the horn from air machine. The sand would randomly stick to the horn surface and then it might be painted above… Juts an idea…
