Is nice texture on that for sure on that paint you need one of those little spin dollies that you can spin it and turn it as you paint it instead of a block but that's my opinion lot easier to paint nice speakers though for sure have a good day God bless🙏🎼
Yes you can...I did that on 3 sets. Looks better than the standard black. Apply the black ...wait 24 hrs is my method. Do not need to wait that long though....a few hours at least. Duratex is the real deal. I also used it on the workbench as a hard top surface. It helped add new life to plywood that was stained and dinged from past projects. It's worth the money....very little odor to it as well. I hope this helps.
@@tjellis1479 I'm assuming you don't do the plastic bag treatment. But do you apply the duratex with a roller? If yes does the texture also "show" on the surface of the paint? Or, do you spray on the duratex to avoid the texturing?
@@jamespatton3958 Both methods-I've done. The textured look of orange peel and plastic bag....easily show when spray painted by your color choice. I rolled on Duratex...then sprayed Krylon colors by choice. Looks 98.2% like factory 😎🔊🔊🔉🔈
ALSO....to get the best look for the driver(cut out) area. Consider to Wrap each driver in plastic wrap(food saver stuff/shrink wrap)....then set driver in place as you roll on duratex nearby driver cutoffs etc This worked to limit the lumpy look near the cutouts and screw holes for final install. So yeah roll on Duratex onto plastic wrap....let dry for a few minutes....lift out driver...peel off plastic wrap.....BOOM....looks like brand new. I hope that make sense.
I enjoy your videos, thank you for your factual and undramatic presentation. May I suggest a potter's banding wheel for use while painting these speakers. Easy rotation and raised level.
If you grab the cabinet at the speaker holes you can do four panes in the first round and have the whole thing painted in two iterations rather than three.
4:45 Can you sing this as your outro song while wearing a Mr. Rogers Cardigan? *Such a G&R Feeling* It’s such a good feeling To know you’re alive. It’s such a happy feeling: You’re Braced inside. And when you wake up ready to say, “I think I’ll upgrade my speakers today.” It’s such a good feeling, A very good feeling,... A feeling you know, "That I'll be back , when the days through, and I'll have more , speakers for you, and you'll have crossover parts, that we can talk about, an I; will ; too! " See ya next time! :-)
I want to use Duratax on the Morel Ardon 2-way bookshelf kit on parts express, I haven't seen a review on the Morel Ardon speaker kit yet so I will wait on that.
First of all GR research is what small companies customer service should be, I called in yesterday because something went wrong with my online order, immediately as explained what went wrong, I was told and explained what might have happened, couple minutes later I made new order, within 1 hour my order was shipped, I received confirmation email and the mailing company also sent me email, bravo 👏 GR research, by the way on the other side of the phone I had the man himself. I was star struck but I kept my cool, I didn’t not bother him with mini chitchat. GR research this is Mo, from brampton Canada, by the way the speaker wires sound very good,
Brilliant. Solid HiFi know-how meets Bob Ross!
hello, I met you recently, my dream is to build the speakers, painted black, mirror polished (like pianos), can you explain how to do it, thanks

Hi Danny, can you spray epoxy paint over the top of Duratec? I think a gloss red with the black drivers might look good.
Yes you can...I did that on 3 sets.

Can you put duratex in painted wood?
You can get Duratex is whatever color you want, they will die it for you. It’s the easy way to coat your speakers.
You are so funny. Thanks for not editing that out…I thought it was a gas!
Paints his desk 2:20.
There was a sheet of cardboard over the work table. 🙂
We need an Engineer series of speakers that would let each brand produce the most awesome version of that brands speakers.
Would love it if you uploaded in higher resolution. Thanks
Then you'd see the wrinkles in my face. It is a balance between resolution and file size.

Do you sell the 1 gallon?
Does this duratex stuff gum up sandpaper? Has anyone ever use a random orbital sander over Duratex?
not too bad.....it's like sanding plastic...you end up with plastic gray dust....air it off...keep going.
In the end - and I don’t think it will work with that Duratex-there can only be one finish colour High Gloss Fire Engine Red…or Cobalt Blue
Hi Danny I agree with KU and wonder why you uploaded the video at 360? 720 min these days. C'mon Ron :)
first uploads often show up at 360P....then 720P later on same day.
@@tjellis1479 I agree but it had been out for a while and it is at 1080p now so all good
If you grab the cabinet at the speaker holes you can do four panes in the first round and have the whole thing painted in two iterations rather than three.
If you hang it by the holes maybe you can do all 6 faces ;p
Looking forward to start my first kit
Me too! counting down now I'll start with the xls encore.

It’s such a good feeling
To know you’re alive.
It’s such a happy feeling:
You’re Braced inside.
And when you wake up ready to say,
“I think I’ll upgrade my speakers today.”
It’s such a good feeling,
A very good feeling,...
A feeling you know,
"That I'll be back ,
when the days through,
and I'll have more , speakers for you,
and you'll have crossover parts, that we can talk about,

That's funny.
Danny can you show the Desktop Minis, XLS Bravos and XLS's all side by side? thanks
