1. To prevent dirt or dried paint particles from blowing back into the grille perforations,
suspend the grille or place it on a wire screen.
2. Apply the paint to the grille surface at a 45° angle. Then rotate the grille by 180° and
repaint it at 45°.

Piercing a perforation with a sharp implement to remove a clog can cosmetically
damage the grille and is not recommended. If paint clogs any of the grille perforations, blow
gently in that area to unclog it. If that does not work, immediately wash the grille with the
appropriate solvent. Make sure the grille is thoroughly dry before repainting.
The paint may feel dry in a few minutes. However, if alcohol has been added, it may take
several days to fully cure.

Painting the frame

Before you begin, protect the speaker cones by inserting the paint shield that came in the
carton. Then you can use the same conventional spray or roller equipment used to paint the
wall or ceiling.
You can use either latex or oil-based paints, which adhere to the speaker frame. However,
both can be easily scratched through careless handling.
Be careful so the paint does not puddle or run. You may want to use a brush for spreading
paint where needed.
This section provides information that may be helpful for the do-it-yourself installer.

Optional items that will assist you:
