In-ceiling speakers
a.
Your speakers came with their grills
attached. To remove the grills prior to painting,
insert the supplied tool through a grill-hole
near the edge and simply pull the grill out.
b.
Replace the grills with the paint masks
provided in the carton.
c.
Paint the speakers’ flanges, carefully
following the instructions for the type of paint
you’re using.
d.
The grills can also be painted but care
should be taken not to clog the holes. Do not
paint the grills while they’re in the speaker.
Most hardware and paint stores sell an
inexpensive spray-can that allows you to spray
small amounts of most types of paint. We
recommend only light spray painting using 5
parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. If a few
holes get clogged, they can be opened with a
pin after the paint is dry.
If you want to paint your speakers (to match the wall or ceiling), we recommend that you do so before they are
installed. But if you need to, they can also be painted in-wall. Just follow these steps:
