Default Speaker grills

Have anybody tried to paint the front and rear speakers grills to a different color? I am thinking about painting them torch red to offset my black interior. Pictures would be very helpful

Spray painting the speaker grills is easily done. Changed the color of my grills from silver/gray to black.

Be sure you don't hold the spray can too close to the grills (or else paint will clog some of the grill openings and you'll have to clear those openings with a pin, etc.). You'll need to do both the front and back sides of the grills to insure complete paint coverage, and you will need to apply two/three coats to each side. Two hours later, viola.

Otherwise, nothing to it.
