It looks like whoever built the DR250 that Bill has up on the site has painted tweeters. It's a nice touch and I think I would like to do the same. Is this a bad idea? Any masking needed as to not damage the tweeters?
thanks!

Re: tweeter painting
I usually just remove the elements to paint the tweeter housings.
Others have suggested using the little round "garage sale" type pricing stickers to mask the element.

Re: tweeter painting
Just remove the element and you should have no problems.
Re: tweeter painting
Those are my DR's with the melded array painted in deep purple. I removed all the elements and gave it 3 coats of model spray paint. This was about a year ago, since then, the elements are no longer removable making it harder to paint without hurting the piezo element. You can try stuffing a small piece of backing foam in the opening before spraying....Any color other than black will be noticeable around the center.
