PAINTINGTHELOUDSPEAKER

The enclosure, the brackets, and the grilles of the loudspeaker can all be painted to match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic qualities of the grille, please paint the grille according to the grille painting instructions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location. There are interior and exterior paint types, 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

•The correct paint for the environment/use (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 an awl (for removing the grille)

•Masking tape

•2 paint masks (supplied)

•A damp cloth and a dry cloth

Preparing to Paint
