PAINTING THE GRILLE

PAINTING THE GRILLE

The grille is important to the sound of the loudspeaker. Do not fill the holes of the grille with paint. The grille is constructed of aluminum with a perfectly-even powder coat overall. This powder coat is an ideal primer.

If you are using a spray paint, use two thin coats without any primer. If you are using a compressor and a spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Practice on paper if you are not experienced in painting with spray paint.

If you are using an applicator or brush and a can of paint, thin the paint first. Thick paint will tend to clog the grille holes. To ensure a uniform appearance, paint the front and back of the grille.

REPLACING THE GRILLE

After the grille dries, carefully fit the grille into its recess so that it is barely in place. Starting with one corner, go around the loudspeaker, pushing in the grille a little bit each time, and making sure not to bend the grille out of shape. You will feel a positive “snap” when it is in place.
