Tube Radio

I have a couple ALTEC 811B horns I got recently. I will need to repaint them and was wondering what shade of green would be correct.
Also what tweeter would be a good match for this horn? Right now I have a 12 db/octave passive crossover at 12,738 Hz, but will be switching to 24 db/octave active crossover at around 9.6 KHz soon with separate amp for the tweeter.
I have a ribbon tweeter I am using, but when I use these speakers outdoors I don't want to take the chance of ruining the ribbon if wind should blow on the tweeter's face. Not sure though what other type of tweeter would sound like a ribbon tweeter though.
I have two of these I can try http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=277-112
