Not yet being an owner, I do not understand why the drivers would need to be removed. Can you explain a little further? I was thinking that I would remove the grills, paint around them, and then, in all likelihood, replace the grill covers. The grill covers would surely cover any poor edging that I might have done around the drivers, no?

And, yes, I would hope to swap out for eggshell grill covers (or just buy them).
