    Default Repainting speaker mesh?

    I want to put a little bit of silver in my car here and there, im thinking of the following:
    -Chrome handbrake/shifter knobs
    -Chrome/silver INTERIOR door handles
    -Dash (maybe)
    -Door air vent surrounds

    But the main thing i wanted to hear were comments and opinions on painting my door speaker mesh silver.
    As in, heat generation/sound dampening/impossible job sorta stuff. Cheers

    I can't see why you couldn't, but very light coats so you don't clog the holes.

    Would look ugly as. You can buy chrome handles and shifter buttons. Your shifter button will wear back through to black if you just paint it.

    ive painted speaker grilles grey before to match the interior turns out looking ok, if as already stated you use several light coats .
