I am restoring a pair of L220, the ex owner applied transparent varnish on the cabinet and glossy black one on the front and rear panels, I deeply hate it and tried and remove the glossy transparent off the cabinet sides and succeed with one side before the heat gun broke (is it a sign from the ex owner?) but the front is harder to remove and really really ugly, will need to remove the speakers, open the cabinet to access the tweeter and mid chamber... before I make an attempt at the removal just curious to know if the original paint is matte black, is it?

Also, the grills fabric is a purple which I also don't go really crazy for, which other options where there for these speakers?

By the way, I recall having seen the L220 with a monitor blue face, very very tempting...

Grazie
