Painting The - Niles OS-10 Installation & Operation Manual

PAINTING THE OS-10
The enclosure, the brackets, and the grills of the OS-10 can all be painted to
match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic quali-
ties of the grill, please paint the grill according to the grill painting instructions.
Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location. There
are interior and exterior varieties, 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 (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)
• The correct paint for the surroundings (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 a corkscrew (for removing the grill)
• Masking tape
• 2 paint masks (supplied)
• A damp cloth and a dry cloth
Preparing to Paint
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. You should remove the brackets and the
bracket knobs. Remove the grill by hooking it with a bent paper clip or the
tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the cabinet (See Figure 8).
