Hi:
The Algonquin outdoor speaker is the first time that our paint shop has worked with plastic. We have had a few interesting issues with the painting. Plastic creates static that attracts dust, an issue that does not happen with the real wood speakers.
Our paint shop has improved the process with additional filtering and dust removal steps. We have also noted the need for more paint on the speakers. Originally, the Algonquin speakers had 2 coats of paint and a layer of UV protectant. Now, the paint shop is doing 3 coats plus the UV coat.
The Algonquin speakers are painted after they are assembled so the port tube will not be fully painted.
