I decided no more buying cabs until my current ones are SPOTLESS and fully restored. Tonight I finished phase one, the speaker housings. They were painted with 3 coats of auto paint and 1 coat of clear coat. Phase 2 will either be the bay doors, or the monitor surrounds... can't decide yet. Anyways, here's the pics:

I could not be happier with the outcome. I personally think they look amazing. Here are some closeup pics of the housings:

My goal is to have these all finished (repainted and recapped) by the end of the summer. Wish me luck :) I'll keep updating this thread as I make progress.

BTW: HUGE Ups to D-7 (Dan) and his brother-in-law Dave for helping me with this. Dave does amazing auto painting work. GOOD LOOKIN OUT!
