Painting the Speaker
The speaker's textured white finish complements most decors and does not need further finishing. Where the interior design requires it, these speakers are easy to paint.
The rim can be painted before installation or in cases where the rim needs to be finished along with the ceiling, the speaker rim can be painted after attaching into the ceiling.
Type of Paint - The speaker's polystyrene rim accepts almost any type of latex or oil based paint. Two coats are recommended.
Painting Process - For best results, it is recommended to use the following procedure:
·Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing the item with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not, however, 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.
·Mask the baffle.
·After cleaning, apply two or more two thin coats of either latex or
Painting the Grille - Painting the grille requires removal of the logo and the internal grille cloth, then spray painting. 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 (or if damaged use new internal grille cloth) and JBL logo.
