Any risk in refinishing the speakers?


Hi
I own a pair of original Snell type B speakers.Even though i love them i always hated their color (kinda yellow-orangy).My local furiture maker (actually guys that work for him) said they're ready to come over any time the boss is not in the office and professionaly sand,prime/seal and refinish/repaint them for me in any shade i want for a very decent price.I was wondering what are potential risks in doing so(sound wise)?Have anybody had any experience doing that?I would appreciate your opinions on that.Thanks.

As long as you remove the drivers, and maybe the crossover too, before the cabinets are re-finished, I can't see why there should be any problem. I do a lot of woodworking, including re-finishing, and my sole concern would be making sure that the drivers don't get any stripper, sanding dust, stain/varnish, etc., on them.
