Hello to everyone and sorry for all caps in the thread title!
I have recently been lucky enough to acquired some 4313B control monitors.:applaud: I have since been hard at work getting them in respectable shape. I am in the process of oiling the cabinets......I had been looking on the forums for a match in color for the blue on the front of the cabinet. I know this is not a new topic by any stretch of the imagination but it appears that sherwin williams stopped carrying the violet pigment used in the most recent formula.:banghead: They state that they do have fuscia*not sure how to spell it* Has anyone used the formula but substituted the fuscia for the violet? I posted the formula I obtained from searching at the bottom of this post. Do I have the most up to date formula? I have searched multiple forums and someon made a post about this very issue of Sherwin WIlliams no longer carrying the violet. They were told to do a search that there was a lot of new info out there. There is nothing I see that adds to the info I already have already attained from searching the forums. I am not sure if I am better off taking the speaker down to Sherwin Williams and having them try to match it up or using the old formula with Fuscia taking violets spot on the pigment list. Please lead me in the right direction if you can.
Once I have the formula squared away I have some other questions.....Do most of you roll the blue on with a roller or do you use an air compressor and spray it on? Also, I will have to tape the walnut veneer off. How long would you wait after I have put my last coat of oil on to put tape down? Should I apply wax to the veneer prior to taping it and painting the front? or afterwards? It seems the wax would help reduce the chance of any adhesive sticking to much...but it may prevent it from sticking at all.... I dont want to mess up the finish or cause any extra cleanup. As long as I use the 3M painters tape type that pulls back up easy I should be ok....right?:blink:
HERE IS THE FORMULA I HAVE:
Martin Senour "bright life" Eggshell enamel,Neutral Base(QT)
Sherwin Williams Pigments:
Black 22/32
Blue 1oz+16/32
Violet 16/32
Red Oxide 1/64
white 21/32
