Steps to Installing

Steps for spray painting:

1.To prevent dirt or dried paint particles from blowing back into the grille perforations, suspend the grille or place it on a wire screen.

2.Apply the paint to the grille surface at a 45˚ angle. Then rotate the grille by 180˚ and repaint it at 45˚.

Tip: Piercing a perforation with a sharp implement to remove a clog can cosmetically damage the grille and is not recommended. If paint clogs any of the grille perforations, blow gently in that area to unclog it. If that does not work, immediately wash the grille with the appropriate solvent. Make sure the grille is thoroughly dry before repainting.

The paint may feel dry in a few minutes. However, if alcohol has been added, it may take several days to fully cure.

Painting the frame

You can use either latex or oil-based paints, which adhere to the speaker frame. However, both can be easily scratched through careless handling.

Before you begin, protect the speaker cones by inserting the paint shield that came in the carton. Then you can use the same conventional spray or roller equipment used to paint the wall or ceiling.

Be careful so the paint does not puddle or run. You may want to use a brush for spreading paint where needed.
