Rusty speakers cover

Covers on speakers yellowing rust like, no, it’s rust. 1998 with gray guts, somebody has a spray available to repaint?

Do you have a leak in the cabin? Moisture in the cabin causes this . I'd be looking for a source of water getting into the cabin.

I have the same problem with my 99 vert. It lives inside, but the humidity is so high (coastal) that I put bags of desiccant in my cars now to absorb the moisture. It has really helped. Sooner or later I will pull off the door panels so I am looking for matching paint too.

The only proper way to paint these is to remove the door panel and then remove screens. As far as matching the gray, I would just grab some gray Rust Oleum and see if it's acceptable.
