In the Thread: How to paint Multicell horns?

Post Subject: Throat paintingPosted by jessie.dazzle on: 12/9/2010

Temporarily seal off the throats from where the driver will mount, stand the horn vertically on its throat and simply fill the cells with paint. Once full, drain the excess back into the paint bucket, by piercing the seal.

Alternatively, use a long, thin stick with a small piece of sponge attached. The sponge will naturally leave a texture (do a test). For the corners, use a sharply cut piece of sponge.

I would use real, natural sponges (the kind the Greeks pull out of the ocean).

With either technique, if the surface is particularly absorbent (as is the case with MDF), don't thin the paint too much.
