Don't know where you are located, but you could take the top of the case to an O'Reilly Automotive or to any auto supply shop that mixes their own paint, they will be able to duplicate it and put it into spray cans for you. What you have is generally referred to as 'crinkle finish' paint.
Textured Black Paint: How do I do it?
I'm not sure where to post this question, and I've looked everywhere. I'm refurbishing an amplifier. It's an old B&K with a steel case painted with a textured black paint. Many manufacturers use a similar paint - including REL, Green Mountain Audio (on the Europa), B&K, Parasound, etc. I'm not sure what it's called, but I think Rel calls it "Britix Black".
My question is how can I duplicate it? I called B&K - they just outsource the chassis work, don't know how it's done. I have the spray equipment, but can't find any pre-mixed paint that results in this irregular Texture. Rustoleum sells a texture paint, but it's a finer, more consistent texture than this, and only available in the spray can, so I can't fiddle with the pressure/flow to "coursen it up". I assume there is a chemical that will cause "curdling" of the paint when mixed in.
Can someone help me? thanks in advance!
