Painting ZxA5 Speaker Systems

Painting a ZxA5 Enclosure
The ZxA5 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 Wil-
liams 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 ZxA5 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.
