Painting Grills for Built Ins

I have a 5.1 HT system that needs to have the speaker grills painted? How is the best way to do this??

Thanks

I had to use a Wagner sprayer, set to "fine" and do a couple of VERY light coats. I tried to use a foam roller with light paint, but it immediately filled the holes with paint. I had to run to the sink and rinse them off.

Buy a can of spray paint that closely matches your decor (e.g. Tremclad or the like) and apply several very light coats. Spray from at least 18" away, very very light coats.
