Appendix A - Painting the Speaker
If the speaker is installed in an area where the interior design requires a color match, the
Bosch LC2-PC60G6-12 is simple to paint. The speaker can accommodate almost any
type of latex or oil based paint. The bezel/rim can be painted before installation or after
mounting into the ceiling.

Painting Process
Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits or
other light solvent. Do not use harsh solvents
such as gasoline, kerosene, acetone, or
other chemicals. If you use these cleaners
you may permanently damage the enclosure.
Also, don’t use abrasives products such as
sandpaper or steel wool. Either by rolling or
spraying, apply two or more thin coats of
paint. If you are spraying, hold the spray can
at the angles shown in Figure 13. If you are
painting the grille also, you must first remove
the internal grille cloth. Spray painting is
strongly recommended. If the grille is rolled
or brush painted, the grille may become
clogged with paint and the sound quality will
suffer. After the paint has dried, replace the
internal grille cloth. If you wish to paint the
speaker along with the ceiling after
installation, insert a plastic or cardboard paint
shield into the front of the speaker (see
Figure 12) to mask the drivers and internal
baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the
shield.
