Some people like to use antique nickel spray paint, not quite as bright as the silver and aluminum spray paints. I've also seen zinc spray paint in the stores but have never tried it, that may be closest to what these speaker frames used to look like.
As for the surround/hinge, replacing the cardboard gasket should act at least part way as a spacer.
