There you go, that's perfect! I've sanded those horns and dulled them, the trick is to remove the finish, not just the high spots. Tried sandblasting them too, which may work if the flow pressure is reduced but the place I go to sandblast stuff has a pretty strong feed that just cuts into 'em like butter.
Sometimes I think it would be worth refinishing these H290 horns, sanding them to remove casting marks and the like. They could be made much more attractive. I never was as concerned with dulling the finish as I was with removing the riser marks. But I can see how a dull finish is important to prevent them from reflecting a glare in an HT setup like yours, where the speakers will be behind the screen.
At any rate, I love the looks of your finish. Good job! It looks great! Will you paint the brushed edge of the 2226 woofers too?
