Have any of you ever repainted a box using automotive metallic paint and clear coat?

I have seen home speakers painted that way and they look absolutely stunning.

I was thinking that, with the right box, this could be very cool if done well.

yes i sprayed the top of my pioneer 909 as it was a mess, went to halfords (automotive store) and matched the colour (buy just spraying it onto the top) got a perfect match. also done 3 sets of speaker grills.

i'm actually going to paint a few boxes in the next few weeks one is going to be medium metalic blue one will be metal flake red and the other metal flake silver,so we will see how they turn out.

i have done the speaker grills because of rust and it makes a hell of a differance

im working on one now, jcv dc 33 l speakers, i have already respraded the grill, and ive just filled the deep scratches and one of the speakers had a cigeret burn on top and there was some bad discolourisation, so will sand filler when dry then its of to halfords tomorrow to find a colour match, will aslo be respraying the top of the main unit as that bad to
