PAINTINGTHEOS-10

The enclosure, the brackets, and the grills of the OS-10can all be painted to match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic quali- ties of the grill, please paint the grill according to the grill painting instructions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location. There are interior and exterior varieties, and even paint for marine uses. If you are not sure what paint to use, consult a paint store professional or a painter.

Tools Required

A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)

The correct paint for the surroundings (oil or water based paint is fine)

A paint brush or applicator if the paint is not in a spray can.

A paper clip or a corkscrew (for removing the grill)

Masking tape

2 paint masks (supplied)

A damp cloth and a dry cloth

Preparing to Paint

1.Separate the parts of the speaker. You should remove the brackets and the bracket knobs. Remove the grill by hooking it with a bent paper clip or the tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the cabinet (See Figure 8).
