    Posted: 01 May 2025 at 1:54pm
Good afternoon 

I’m refreshing my void basys PA and I need some grey speaker paint, but after talking to someone at Blue Aran on the phone yesterday I was told they are experiencing supply chain issues and they don’t know when they will have any colour options back in stock.

Warnex, armacab, granatone etc only seem to be available in  black, and white in some instances.

Can anyone recommend an alternative supplier who could help?

Kind regards

Speed line C71 paint can be colour matched. It's a hard wearing agricultural and machinery paint, local circus here uses it. I had it matched to NCA green. When I did a tester on scrap bit of ply I was hitting it with a hammer when it was dry. Excellent results. I would suggest giving it a try.

If you can only source black or white paint, but you need grey paint....

I also want to avoid buying 2 tins of paint and mixing it myself….🫠

Thanks for the reply, website says it’s for application to metals, how well does it bond to plywood?

+1 Nasty stuff though so use gloves and a decent mask! 
It's just bits of paper flapping about in a box.

I said in my post. If your unsure best get a small test pot and try it yourself. That's what I did. I may have a video somewhere on my Google drive of me bashing the ply with a hammer. 

You could get white warnex structure paint and have a pigment added at a decent paint shop to get colour you want as well.they will keep a ref if you go back to them for the future.
