For best results, the following procedure is recommended:

1.Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing the item with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool, nor should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or other chemicals. Use of these cleaners may result in permanent damage to the enclosure.

2.After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either latex or oil-based paints. Latex paint will adhere better if an oil-based primer is used first. Application can be made by rolling, brushing or spraying.

Painting the Speaker Along With the Ceiling – Insert the clear plastic paint shield into the front of the speaker to mask the drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the shield.

Painting the Grille – Painting the grille requires removal of the logo and the internal grille cloth before spray painting. Multiple sprayed coats using thinned paint is recommended to avoid clogging the grille holes. If the grille is rolled or brush painted, the mesh may become clogged with paint and poor sound quality may result. Replace the internal grille cloth and JBL logo.

Maintenance -- No maintenance is required when assembled in accordance with the instructions and wiring guidelines described in this manual.
