I am building a DIY subwoofer and would like to mirror the look of my current RTi set up. Does anyone know what paint code or brand paint would match the silver in the RTi8 front panel of the enclosure? I am sure a regular silver rattle can will get close but I was wondering if anyone had any luck matching it..

I am also looking at older Polk subwoofers from the same era as the RTi8 or CSi5 speakers. My goal is to purchase a grill from one of the models that is the same color/material that was used on the RTi lineup. Is the PSW505 the closest?

Thanks in advance.

    ABout the only way to get an exact match is to take the front panel of your 8 into a paint store and have them scan the color. Most will have equipment to match that way.

    Otherwise, you are going to have to do a lot of buying, spraying a cardboard sample and holding it up to your 8s to compare.
