Cones and dustcaps.

First off, please don't bash me if this seems like a stupid question to you. Can you paint a dust cap and/or cone? Will it effect the sub or sq? If you can, what type of paint would you use? I've got some ab vfls and the gold cone is just an eye sore to me. The cone itself is woven kevlar with some type of sealer over it.

Yes you can paint them.
Shouldn't effect the play of the woofer unless you do a million coats of paint which will add extra mass to the moving parts which will make the woofer have a slightly lower FS.

You can use pretty much any paint you want. spray paint would be fine. Just be sure to mask everything off nicely.
