9. PAINTING
If desired, the grille and baffle panel may be painted to match the surrounding décor.
Painting the baffle:
Carefully mask off the driver assembly using the paint-mask provided to ensure that the paint does not come into
contact with the cone and roll surround.
Apply several thin coats of paint – this will provide a better finish than one overly thick coat.
Painting the grille:
Carefully remove the acoustically transparent foam from the reverse side of the grille.
Paint the grille and then replace the foam - several thin coats of paint will provide a better finish than one
overly thick coat.
Re-bond the foam to the grille over the entire area using a light spray-adhesive to avoid audible resonances.
