Altec 288 cover repair

WSJ · 27th June 2011, 12:11 AM

I bought an Altec 288 driver with a damaged rear cover, but could not fine a replacement. I repaired the cover with fiberglass and Bondo. Does anyone one know where to buy matching hammertoe gray paint?

Nice fix!

The paint varied over the years. Someone here might know, or you can ask over at the Altec User's Board.

Nice repair, Rustoleum is selling a hammer tone spray paint at Home depot. Might be worth a try.
