PAINTING CONTROL CONTRACTOR 40 SERIES LOUDSPEAKERS
The trim ring and grille of Control Contractor 40 Series
loudspeakers can be painted to match almost any decor. The
speaker's polystyrene rim accepts almost any type of latex or
oil based paint.
For best results, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral
spirits by rubbing the item with a lightly dampened cloth. Do
not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool, nor should
you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh
detergents or other chemicals. Use of these cleaners may
result in permanent damage to the enclosure.
2. After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either latex
or oil-based paints. Latex paint will adhere better if an oil-
based primer is used first. Application can be made by rolling,
brushing or spraying.
Painting the Speaker Along With the Ceiling – Insert the clear
plastic paint shield into the front of the speaker to mask the
drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the
shield.
Painting the Grille – Painting the grille requires removal of
the lightly-glued center logo before spray painting. Leave
the grille backing in place -- it is glued onto the back of the
grille in a fairly strong manner (if you do decide to remove the
backing, the backing material is likely to be destroy and it may
require extra effort to remove the remaining backing material
and glue).
Spray the grille lightly using thinned paint. Make sure the
spray is light enough that when the grille is held up to the
light, you can still see light through the grille holes (which
means that sound can also get through). Spray only the front
of the grille, not the back. The fact that the grille backing picks
up the new color (in addition to the metal of the grille) means
that you can achieve the proper color without a heavy spray
of paint. Do not roll or brush painted because the mesh and/
or backing may become clogged with paint and poor sound
quality may result.
Replace the JBL logo in the center of the grille.
