PAINTING JBL VERTEC DP SERIES SYSTEM PRODUCTS

Each JBL Professional VERTEC DP Series system model is readily paintable.The DuraFlex ﬁnish provides

a lightly textured surface that any household or industrial paint readily adheres to.The result is a speaker enclosure that is able to blend unobtrusively into the decor of any stage set or environment.

Instructions for painting wood enclosures (do not paint the JBL DrivePack®):

1.Prepare the enclosure surface by cleaning and wiping off dust and ﬁlm with a damp cloth. It may be necessary to use a mild household cleaner to remove grease. Avoid using a cloth that will deteriorate over the textured surface.

2.Apply as many coats of paint as is required. Application can be by rolling, brushing or spraying. Care must be taken when painting the grille. Avoid any paint or type of application that will clog the open cells in the foam of the front grille. Depending on the type of paint, it may not be wise to spray the grille.

3.For painting systems that are installed in environmentally-hostile locations, it is recommended that an automotive paint should be used for maximum protection.

Note: for systems that will be transported on a regular basis, oil-based paints or Krylon-type spray paints will give better long-term results than water-based Latex type paints.
