My newly acquired k5la

damn i like that color bro nice job there!

Love the colors. That royal blue is incredible. You’ll have to post some pics of the fully assembled and installed horns.

Did you paint the entire inside of the throat? Reason I’m asking is I will doing a similar project on my Leslies and I had heard painting the inside affects the sound. Don’t know, just asking.

Again, incredible job.

appreciate it:)

thanks a lot man i love the royal blue as well. My gf actually picked it out :smiley:

yes i painted the inside… but not the 4mm air passage itself… i taped that off. I don’t see how it could really effect the sound to anything noticeable… Spray painting the innards of a leslie will be a LOT more difficult because they are much longer and skinnier at the base end… would pretty much be a nightmare trying to cover it all and i don’t think it would even be possible lol

here’s what they look like all assembled:

That looks great! Excellent job, it’ll be a shame hiding em under your car lol

not if i put a plexi glass window in my trunk :wink:

but unfortunately i don’t think i’m going to because i don’t have the right tools lol

Oh and not to threadjack but painting the throats of a horn won’t affect the sound at all (unless you get it all in the insides).

And painting Leslie throats isn’t too bad…

I know it’s hard to see but I got paint all the way down the bells.

Looks great nice job.

Hey Hornee. Where did you get the royal blue and gun metal? Also what brand are they?

that was painted with a rattle can?

thanks

i got it at VIP (auto parts store)… it’s just good ol’ duplicolor

Yep, took awhile and almost 3 cans to get it that shiny and thick though lol It was Rustoleum.

does the rustoleum have a fan spray nozzle or the standard kind?

Standard but I believe you can get them with the fan spray nozzle

yeah it’d be a nightmare with a fan spray

here’s a link to my original install thread:
