Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Best way to change M60 color??

I have a pair of the M-60 towers in the mansfield beech finish and need to change them to black, preferably glossy. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

I am currently considering using a coat of primer and two coats of high gloss black urethane paint.

I used to own some m60 mansfields, why would you want to ruin such a nice speaker? Maybe you should trade in for the color you want, that is if you want a nice outcome versus doing it yourself.

You might want to use the "search" tool for the word "paint" or something similar. This topic has come up before. I would also highly recommend you call Axiom to get their input. The vinyl is over MDF, which could change the way you attempt this. I believe you would want to use some very fine steel wool to lightly ruff up the vinyl. Either way I would be afraid of screwing up the speaker, there would be no going back.

Also, Fordperfect mentioned this before some time ago. Can I paint vinyl? Vinyl is a non-porous material; therefore, paint doesn’t adhere to it well. Only epoxy-based paint will stick to vinyl over an extended period of time. But epoxy paints may damage the vinyl’s surface over time."

Thank you for your reply. I have remodeled my place and the resulting clash is unacceptable. I did run a search prior to posting, however I didn't realize the date field was not set properly. I'll take a look, thanks!

Did you consider Axiom's great trade-in policy. I traded up my center and the premium wasn't that bad?

Let me say this, about that...........AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
