Spraying speakers

Hi,

I have a set of old Monitor Audio speakers and would like to paint them black they are currently a mahogany varnish finish, I prefer a matt black finish to match the rest of my room, whats the best way to do this?

Also the front panels are a bit worn is there a site that you can buy new ones or buy the cloth to cover them yourself?

Thanks.

Just strip them from all electronics, sand them, mask them from the inside, hang them (from a bolt in a spike or stand screw-hole, put bolts in all the holes) and spray them... Not to hard I think...
