Yep - deansocial is right. Spray them.

I sprayed my Panasonic speakers from a naff silver colour to gloss black using Plasticote paint from B&Q.

You can look at the results on my bedroom setup:

If you search on one of the Pc Modding sites you'll find info on creating piano finishes and general spay painting. Try bit-tech.net | The UK's leading source for Hardware and Games reviews for example.
