Painting
•
If the speaker grille requires painting it is
recommended to use a spray can for ease
of application. Alternatively, it is possible
to apply acrylic or enamel paint using a
small foam roller but this will require more
applications to achieve a good result.
Spray can application
•
Use a spray can to apply a light coat of
paint. Rotate the product at 90° intervals
and apply three more light coats to ensure
an even coverage (figure 6).
•
Be careful in applying single heavy coats
of paint as there is a higher probability
of blocking the holes in the grille. If the
grill does become blocked by paint,
use a small pin or similar to release the
blockage, while the paint is still wet.
Roller application
•
Load a foam roller with a light coverage
of thin paint and then roll onto the grille.
Try to avoiding blocking the holes in the
grille. If the grille does become blocked
by paint, use a small pin or similar to
release the blockage, while the paint is
still wet.
•
Allow the paint to dry. Apply three or more
light coats to ensure an even coverage
(figure 7).
