Painting 2344 horns, suggestions, cautions ?

[Mr. Widget]

After decades of touching up speakers used in event production I can recommend Krylon satin black. Actual flat black looks pretty terrible.

The paint you are probably referring to was a lacquer based Krylon paint called Semi-Flat and had the part number 1613. It gave a superior finish to any other rattle can paint I have tried, and I have tried many. Unfortunately about 10 years ago Krylon had to reformulate their 1613 Semi Flat Black (and other colors) and the new version is not the same.

The good news is that the good stuff is still available as an industrial coating. I buy mine through Grainger, but it is available through many distributors.
