Bass enclosure finish? (Oris Horns)

Hallo GC!
There is some special laquer for wooden floors - which can be used as a primer, cause it seals the surface quite well. After sanding, just put the colour You like on that surface, but don´t use acrylic based colours. In case You want a real shiny surface, take several layers of clear gloss laquer. It´s a lot of work, cause You will see any small imperfections in the surface.
Myself, I´m not so happy with water based (acrylic) colours, but they improved during the last years.
Also I don´t like, by purely acoustical reasons, flat surfaces, cause they can reflect sound. With my Oris Reference Cabinets, I took alloy-foam for the outside finish. But I can understand, if the optics are not to everybodys taste!
Best regards
Stephan

Gasper,

Please can you tell if there is any special way for painting the Compact
Reference bass enclosure made from particle board. I would go with two
layers of primer and two layers of paint. Which paint (acrylic, water
based,...) is the best?

I usually add veneer to the enclosures, much better looking than any paint job if you ask me... :wink:

At the same time this means that I do not have a real good idea how to paint them, this is usually done at the paint shop...

Sorry,

Bert
