PAINTINGTHEOS-10

The enclosure, the brackets, and the grills of the OS-10can all be painted to match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic quali- ties of the grill, please paint the grill according to the grill painting instructions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location. There are interior and exterior varieties, and even paint for marine uses. If you are not sure what paint to use, consult a paint store professional or a painter.

Tools Required

•A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)

•The correct paint for the surroundings (oil or water based paint is fine)

•A paint brush or applicator if the paint is not in a spray can.

•A paper clip or a corkscrew (for removing the grill)

•Masking tape

•2 paint masks (supplied)

•A damp cloth and a dry cloth

Preparing to Paint
