PAINTING THE OS-10

2.Wipe off the other sides of the cabinet, the bracket, bracket knobs, and grill with a damp cloth. Do not touch or rub the speakers on the front baffle. Make sure everything is dry before masking.

3.Mask off the binding posts and the brass threaded inserts on the back panel with masking tape.

4.Mask off the threaded inserts on the top and bottom with masking tape.

5.Protect the front of the speakers by inserting the supplied paint masks in place of the grills.

Painting the Cabinet, Bracket Knobs and Bracket

1.Apply two thin coats of a primer to the cabinet and knobs. We recommend Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318. The bracket doesn't require a coat of primer.

2.Allow the primer to completely dry.

3.Apply the finish color.

4.Allow the paint to completely dry.

5.Carefully remove the masking material.

6.Do not reattach the speaker to the bracket until the bracket is mounted. Try to keep all handling of the freshly painted parts to a minimum.

Painting the Grill

The grill is important to the sound of the OS-10. Do not fill the holes of the grill with paint. The grill is constructed of aluminum with a perfectly even powder coat overall. This powder coat is an ideal primer.

If you are using a spray paint, use two thin coats without any primer. If you are using a compressor and a spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Practice on paper if you are not experienced in painting with spray paint.
