I`m about to embark on yet another 4311 restoration. It probably wont be as elaborate as the one I did a few years ago as the pair I`m starting with are in better condition and I wont be doing the inverted driver mod.
I have a few questions regarding the painting of the cabinets. Researching Lansing archives determined RAL 7038 to be the correct paint code but I dont see any references to what type of paint JBL used, was it oil or water based?
What puzzles me at the moment is the proper technique to apply the paint, the sides, tops, bottoms are textured and the baffles and back panels are smooth.

This is something I need to do myself with minimal investment as far as special tools are concerned i.e. I dont want to invest in a paint gun for a one-off project.

Any and all suggestions are most welcome
