I would like to know how to change finish from oak to black on my kg 1.2 and academy center to match my chorus ii that are black,is this possible or any ideas out there? I do need to touch up my chorus ii a little but they are it pretty good shape with 30 years 5 moves and three kids later. lol so any help on this would be great.

most want to go the other way sanding off the black paint to expose the wood grain veneer.  but changing to black is very easy,  just sand the cabinets lightly to get a even dull look to them (but not so much it breaks through the veneer) then repaint with a satin black paint,  they are small enough that a spray paint will work if you know the basics of spray painting, or you can use a roller with traditional brush on paints.  i have found that krylon satin black spray paint is a very close match to the original satin black klipsch used & goes on thin so it wont clog up the wood grain.  or rustoleum or other brand of satin black brush on paint is good too but might be a little too glossy & goes on thicker so need to be careful to apply it thin.  krylon satin black is very good quality paint, applies very evenly & dries fast,  i have used it on all kinds of stuff from wood to metal automotive parts with excellent results.
