Hmmm, are you sure that you do not do a mistake?

Jessie, I do not know how to say it but looking at your last picture something does not work for me. The hone that you made are elegant and graceful but painted in glossy black with that very rough structure I feel they are less attractive. The texture surface is good but I think that the sophistication of the epoxy-sand mix is not good enough for the appearance of your fine horns. It is of cause personal preferences but If I have your wonderfully-smooth horns I would probably keep them white and then used different shadows of gray structured paint to color them. Like upper bass horn might be dark gray, almost black and the upper it goes the lighter gray it become – of something like this depends of the light condition of your listening room. I think at this point, what you do not know where and how they will be installed it make sense to keep them white unfinished. Then what you found the place you might take the drivers off, load a big car-painting mashie and compressor with paint and spay the horns in accordance to how you wish.  I would juts draw a macro-image of the room right on the top of the installed horns. Then juts repaint the room.  You never have this change again if you finish the horns right now.
