[QUOTE="Ron Kreiger, post: 15907, member: 68"] Re: Refinishing Speaker Cabs Solvent based paint strippers work fairly fast and should allow you to complete the project in 1 or 2 days. Freshly applied Duratex is a bit soft so allow a few days curing time before tossing them around in the truck! Personally I wouldn't remove all the old Duratex. I would sand with 220 grit the entire exterior to break the glaze and poke around and find the chipped spots, remove any loose material and then brush some fresh stuff into those locations.After the fresh Duratex dries then re-coat the entire box.Duratex doesn't need a primer so the old stuff is just a bit of extra protection. As long as you get the loose stuff off you should be fine. I prefer using spray grade with a hopper gun but I've gotten very good results with a heavy nap roller as well. [/QUOTE]
