To tie the wood finish with the black I think I will seal/shellac the wood with Zinsser Bullseye amber. Then I will spray tremclad clear gloss (same line as the black) over the whole thing with three coats. Then polish.

From what I have read as long as the black has cured for at least a few days the clear should go over both without issue. It will be way cheaper than epoxy. If anyone knows different please comment. Thanks. wink

Totally beautiful,

Was a little worried you had covered the trim outright in the last pics, the 2 tone is quite nice.
Cant wait to hear your thoughts and see them in your H.T. room.

congrats

I still have a bit to go before they go into the HT. Today I plan on shellac'ing the wood areas and taking a final look at all the touch ups and minor fixes before clear coat the works.

I was kinda bummed when I unmasked them honestly. The masking line was pretty good and sharp, but wet sanding let the tiniest bit seep through on the edge. Its not really noticable unless you get really close and are looking for it. Also, I didnt consider the orientation of the heaters. The wood trim side closest to the heaters on one speaker is split all to f-ing hell. It will be filled when I shellac, but kinda bummed about it too. It will be the center channel by default now behind the screen. Lol.

Oh yeah, the wires are getting sleeved with techspan. All good.

Its good to fail. You learn more for next time! smile

The evil one.... I think I can rescue it. The others look fantastic with the first coat of shellac on. Very happy.
