Best way to paint speaker grills

robgar · 7th June 2004, 08:08 PM

Hello-

I just purchased a set of used B&W DS6 dipole speakers. They're white. I need black. I think painting the ?plastic? speaker casings should be easy enough, but what about the white grill covers?

Spary paint, fabric paint, etc? Any helpful tips?

Thanks
Rob

Assuming you're talking about changing the color of the grill cloth there is no "paint" that I'm aware of. I think you'll either need to built your own grill covers, replace the existing cloth, order from the manufacturer or just go without them.

Ink? Or maybe put it in your washing mashine with the stuff some people used to color their clothing? Haven't seen it around in stores for some years, but on the other hand I have not really been looking for it either..
