Thanks for the quick reply Jim. I'm also curious as to your preference if an automotive finish is desired. Would you want to pick your own paint from your own supplier to match the customer request, or would you want the customer to pick the paint and send it to you? How much paint would be required if I wanted speakers and plinths all painted to match, and how does picking an automotive finish affect the cost (assuming standard satin finish with baffle-less front)? I am asking these questions in the forum instead of a personal mail since I thought other prospective customers might be interested as well. I do agree with your suggestion to stick with the standard w-18 drivers, just thought black might look extra nice if available due to the contrast. The room they would go into has silver-gray carpeting with light gray walls, and I may still consider the basic satin black option, but the dark silver metallic automotive finish seems to be calling out to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any chance you could photo-shop a picture to give an idea of the possible result?
