1/4'' ding / chip on a glossy black speaker

Enamels and epoxy paints can be applied to any other type of
paint. Most enamels don't sand or rub out as nicely
though(too soft). Lacquers have more aggressive thinners that
will cause problems, if applied to other paint systems.
Power coat? LOL! Power coatings are electrostatically
applied(sprayed/surface has to conduct electricity) and then
baked, at almost 400 degrees(F). Unless your cabinet is
metal: forget about it!

How do you know the OP doesn't have metal cabnets? My best friend had his Meridian 8000's fixed at a shop that did powder coating. I assume his speakers were metal; the Meridians that I had were.

I said this for a reason.

"Something like that can work but you must know what kind of paint is on the speaker before you start."

Like I said, "Unless your cabinet is metal: forget about it!" That DOES allow for the possibility of the OP's cabinet being metal. In that case; he would have to have the entire cabinet stripped(sand blasted), as powder coatings cannot be touched up. Chips in powder coating can be filled in with conventional paints, but- that never does look quite right.

1/4"? Forget about it. Touch it up with a black Sharpie pen and don't look for it. Automotive paint can work too, but try the Sharpie first. It hurts when your precious stuff gets damaged, but most people who try to fix things mess it up worse than it was before. Very few people do things right.

I 100% agree with Chayro, get out the Sharpie pen and do the best you can. After all, we're talking about a 1/4" defect - this is hardly something to stress about. Dim the lights and enjoy your system...
