One would think YES
I can't believe the colored versions are so much more expensive. -

I was thinking the same thing. You certainty wouldn't want a hard gloss enamel paint.
But I don't even know how a flat surface can "suck up" the sound. Is it some kind of fabric coated foam? Can my 24x48 velvet picture of Elvis do the same?

You can buy acoustic panels from Soundproof Cow or Acoustical Solutions at their regular price for slightly more than Home Depot's sale price and you have a lot more fabric and edge options.Political Correctness'.........defined

The fabric covers a fiberglass core, which is what really absorbs the sound. Of course, the sound has to be able to pass thru the outer covering.
The velvet will absorb some sound, but Elvis may not like what he's hearing.Political Correctness'.........defined

SonoKote sells an acoustically transparent paint. I have no experience with it, just read about it being available. Be interesting to see what the difference between acoustic paint and fabric would be. I'm thinking fabric would be better but don't honestly know.
One can always buy acoustic fabrics in colors of choice, like Guilford of Maine, for their diy treatments. I purchased some GoM fabric when I recovered a four GIK thick panels to match the four GIK bass Tri Traps I had purchased. The wife chose the color so it was easier to have them. lol
Some sellers have a minimum quantity of fabric you must purchase, others will sell by the yard but you may pay more per square yard.

Use paints specifically for textiles, should not be a problem.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

I don't think the average person would consider that and it might be difficult to get textile paint that matches wall paint.
The Home Depot video does not mention anything about the type of paint being used.Political Correctness'.........defined

Food coloring. I win.

Fabric dye. Make some tie-dye t-shirts with the extra.

I thought the video said primer and then latex or acrylic paint. Yep, it does.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

That is what fabric paint is, acrylic.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

I stand corrected. Yeah, no way that's fabric paint.Post edited by F1nut onPolitical Correctness'.........defined

Apparently, you can order it paintable.

Yes, I know. The issue is after it's painted how well does it do at absorbing sound?Political Correctness'.........defined

Right the video has latex/acrylic paint, not fabric. I would think fabric paint would be less likely to inhibit sound absorption. That is the only reason I mentioned it. Sure your choices are limited , but most people want a contrast anyway.

You just need to play music loud enough to break through the paint.
To me, they are too plain looking. I have seen others with designs, patterns, etc on them that are more appealing.

That would be me on certain occasions.
I don't get the solid surface panel either. Maybe they think the sound entering from behind will be absorbed. But if the front is solid, it would act as a radiating panel, although the sound would be lower in volume due to some reduction from the panel catching some of the soundwaves.
I agree, I don't get the solid surface idea either. Cloth, yea. 100%
