Maybe the room would get hotter if the walls were painted flat black on the outside of the house and there were little or no insulation in the walls, but painting them black INSIDE the house (even if they are "outside" walls) should have no effect on the room's ambient air temperature, especially since the room's one window is blocked with blackout curtains.

I wanted to post a few words about how I am accomplishing glossy black on my speakers now. When trying to achieve this by hand, I had a really tough time finishing my Statements. Before starting that project, I scoured the Internet looking for a glossy black shortcut but came up dry. So after all the... -
I just realised that the Peerless Exclusives look ugly in my black piano finish cabinet. I would prefer if the silver phase plug and frame was black. How would I go about making the drivers black, without affecting its performance?
