Oh boy...
There is no paint. They are anodized. If you do want to paint? The world is at your command.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

I've painted the tops of C-1s. I used Premium RUST-OLEUM® Black Satin Classic, Low-Sheen Finish — it's a smooth protective spray enamel.
It should sound like it isn't there!

Strip 'em down and have them powder coated.

Unless they look like they've been on the titanic,I'd Just clean them up and leave'em be.Painting or powder coating them would probably hurt the value of the amps.Unless they have that nasty purple hue that I've seen some of the Carver Preamps get.Then by all means go for it.
