Rob_Beech Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you're wanting to just touch up cabs then your best / easiest (though far from the cheapest) option is to contact martin about it and they'll send you some. It's not cheap though. If you are wanting to repaint the whole lot, then that method will cost a small fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamchristuffin Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you're going to paint the whole rig anyway, why not paint it black? Saves money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you're going to paint the whole rig anyway, why not paint it black? Saves money!I really fail to see how painting the speakers a different colour is going to save the OP any money at all??? Good quality hard wearing paint costs the same regardless of the colour. All it's going to achieve is a Wavefront system which is black not grey and as the OP appears to be selling some if not all of this system on his website it's probably not a good idea to make it non standard. hi everyone, I'm looking to repaint my martin wavefront system.(as cheap as possible)looking for a brand or supplier of it.

Explain that it needs to be hard wearing and most companies having been given a sample will be able to supply you with a close if not exact match to the colour you require. Trimite is a good brand and is used quite extensively for speaker painting and yes it is available in colours other than black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you contact Aldcroft Adhesives they will be able to mix you a batch of whatever colour paint you require. Apply it with a roler unless you have a pressure pot. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Beech Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I believe its getting more difficult to get warnex paint now. I heard somewhere that UK distributors are no longer distributors. I believe you can get it from Thomann still as they're a German company (I THINK, do correct me if I'm wrong) but its phenomenally expensive nowadays, and I'm not sure what colours they have to offer.

Hugh Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We have had the same issue with repainting our brown boxes, the French seem to think paint is more valuable than printer ink. However we got a almost identical paint from- http://www.symphonycoatings.co.uk/ the colour is so close you would not know and its waterproof and pretty tough. I am sure they would do a grey one. Its still not cheap but its less than half the price we were first quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
