Hey guys. Sorry to resurrect an old thread...but I wanted to toss out a quick question:

I recently picked up an MSA un-ducted spook - it looks great - I have not yet installed it. It arrived shiny black, which looks nice, but I would prefer a satin black. For those who have painted their MSA spooks, I would assume you sanded and primed first? If so, what grit and primer? And if anyone has gone with a satin black, what paint did you opt for?

Thanks so much!

Prepare it the same as you would with any fiberglass part. I'm not a painter, so I can't recommend what grit to use, but no different than any other auto painting project.

Last post I saw here with satin black on his spook said he used Krylon, and it looked great...

hit it with 400 dont go threw the gel coat.
