Its really not THAT spendy... only like 1.5 times the price of normal black paint.

Thank you, so I should have plenty left for future builds, do you thin it at all and did you use a roller or sprayed it on?

For some reason in mi mind even paint is spendy, :oops: Last time my wife made me paint the house it was sad to see the cash I needed to spend on that. :(

HELPPP! :oops:

I finished the horns but when I was trimming the bottom of one of them I went about an 8th overboard, would I still be able to use the horn? is there any solution other than re building the whole horn?
:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Fill it up/rebuild the thickness with succesive applications of bondo if you think that will suffice, or add a nice thin piece of ply and PL it on, let it set, and re trim...

an 1/8" is not bad when you are cutting the horn to fit inside the cabinet box.
When you install the horn inside the box put a large bead of PL on that side.

+1, especially if you use some temporary screws to hold the horn in place with the gap halved to either edge.
