How to revive a set of vintage Pioneer TS-32 - part 2

Welcome to another Banpei video!
Today I have a video where I picked up a project that I started two years ago: reviving a set of vintage Pioneer TS-32 speakers.

Two years ago I bought them from an old man who used them for two decades in his Mercedes and apparently the old man was a heavy smoker. The speakers still functioned fine, but the paint was badly damaged and they smelled of ashtray. So a disassembly, thorough clean and repaint had to be done.

After I repainted them, I tried applying the pin striping that it originally had. This proved to be more difficult than I thought. I tried various methods: injecting paint, using a felt marker and using a fine brush and paint it. Neither of those gave me a satisfactory result and I simply tossed the project in the corner.

I decided to give them a second go and do without the pin striping. I'll solve that somewhere in the future with either masking tape or cut a vinyl pinstripe on the plotter.
