Actually I've done plenty of painting black over too many years of predominantly silver/gray. It's OK for some equipment, but only for that which is out of warranty. With the rapid evolution of A/V transmission technologies in recent years, the current likelihood of finding _suitable_ components that are also out of warranty, and black, for all practical purposes is zero. For those unaware, the reason why black works and silver/gray don't is the TV screen is supposed to be center of attention. Everything else should just fade into the background, except for whatever LED displays are necessary to monitor and/or change functions. Silver and gray are too bright to just fade into the background and minimize distraction from the reason for looking. Furthermore, the brighter surroundings silver & gray present require brighter LED displays to retain adequate contrast, which makes them yet bigger distractions during low ambient lighting. Silver and gray can be perfectly fine colors, but not for objects that need to mimic invisibility. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
