Painting Your Speakers
Your speakers come with a stark white finish. It will stand as a finish on
its own or will serve nicely as a primer base to put the desired paint finish
on the frames and grilles without any additional preparation.
If you plan to paint your speakers you will have to determine when and
how you will paint them, before or after they are mounted in the wall.
YOU MUST NOT apply any paint to the areas behind the speaker
grilles. Your speakers come with paint guards that mask the vulnerable
parts.
Painting speakers is a little tricky so heed the following advice:
Whether you are painting your speakers in the wall or out of the wall,
paint the grilles and the frames separately. Remove the grilles,
mask the portion of the speaker that is under the grille and paint the
frame. Let it dry completely before attaching the grille.
Be careful not to get too much paint in the recesses of the frame
where the grille attaches. If these recesses become clogged with
paint, the grilles will not attach properly.
Be careful that you do not clog the grille perforations when painting
the grilles. Also be careful not to get too much paint on the edges of
the grille, which fit to the frame. Make certain that the grille paint is
completely dry before attaching the grille to the frame.
Use multiple thin coats of thin paint for best results.
