Painting the exterior parts

You can paint the grille and frame of your Virtually Invisible® 791 speakers before you install them.

Be sure to use paint that is appropriate to the technique you choose, as described below. Painting is optional and Bose cannot be responsible for the quality of adhesion or finish of non-factory-applied paints.

WARNING: Follow all recommended safety procedures for the chemicals involved. This includes the proper use of eye protection, ventilation systems, respirators or filter masks, and fire safety equipment if flammable solvents are used.

Painting the grille

It is important to prevent paint from clogging the grille perforations. This can adversely affect performance. You can use a dry brush or spray paint technique, as described here. However, do not use a paint roller.

BE SURE to rotate the Bose® logo to the position you want before painting begins.

Clean the grille to remove possible contaminants. Even fingerprints can prevent uniform coverage.

Check to be sure the paint is distributed evenly and covers the grille thoroughly.

Use a tissue paper or clean cloth to protect the painted grille when you remove the paint shield or attach the grille to the speaker.

Using a dry brush technique

Unthinned latex paint is appropriate for this method. Be sure to put down enough paper to cover your work area and allow for repeatedly blotting the brush.

1.Dip the tip of a clean, dry brush in the paint.

2.Stroke across a piece of paper to reduce the amount of paint on the brush. When you can see individual bristle marks, the brush is ready to use on the grille.

3.Stroke lightly back and forth on the front of the grille, in a horizontal direction, until you need more paint.

Tip: If paint clogs any of the grille perforations, try angling your stroke or blow gently to unclog the paint.

4.When the entire grille is covered, turn the grille 180° and repaint it using back-and-forth strokes.
