Textured finish for sub-bass cabinet

[Neil Jowsey]

I'm just finishing the cabient for a sub-bass speaker for use in a home cinema setup. It's MDF and about 450 * 300 * 300. I'm looking for a textured satin black/charcoal finish but haven't found anything suitable. I'm assuming aerosol will give me the best finish but I've only found the 'plasticote' range and they don't do a textured finish in a dark enough colour.

As an alternative the piano black gloss finish is nice but satin would be better as gloss shows *every* tiny imperfection in the finish!

Does anyone know any products that might fit the bill?

Cheers

Non-slip floor paint that you apply with a textured roller? Sort of like a civilised version of artex. Not sure if you can get 'charcoal', you might have to make do with 'wet elephant'.

Upholster it in black vinyl? Thin foam underneath. Might help with resonances too.

How about stage speaker covering fabric? CPC have a small range. Stick it on with non solvent spray adhesive. Servisol brand is OK. Ordinary Evostick attackes the fabic and makes it go saggy.

Frost Auto (or Automotive) Restoration sell 'authentic' crackle finish paint for vehicle dashboards.
