Painting Zx5 Speaker Systems - Electro-Voice ZX5 Series Owner's Manual

Painting Zx5 Speaker Systems

Painting a Zx5 Enclosure
The Zx5 Loudspeaker Enclosures are made of a high performance Polypropylene material. For
best paint adhesion, we recommend a "Plastic Adhesion Promoter" be applied before any paint.
Sherwin Williams Plastic Adhesion Promoter UP07226 is a good example (See Telex document
number LIT000066-000 for further details.) Once Plastic Adhesion Promoter is applied follow the
manufacturer's painting directions as you would normally.
Painting a Zx5 Grille
Remove grille from loudspeaker and remove the backing material & logo from grille prior to
painting. Once the paint is dry, reapply the backing material and logo to the grille. Spray adhesive
such as 3M Super 77 may help adhere the backing material to the grille.
Additional Precautions to be Taken
Prior to painting, be sure to take precautions not to get paint into the transducers. This can be
done by masking the grille, temporarily removing the grille and masking the transducers, or by
temporarily removing the grille and temporarily removing the transducers. Precautions must also
be taken not to get paint into any exposed electrical components by masking them off prior to
painting. It is also recommended that any exposed rigging points, warning labels, or instruction
labels be masked off for ease of future operation.
