These loudspeakers are easy to paint. It’s best to
paint the baffle and enclosure before installation.
Type of Paint
The loudspeaker’s ABS plastic baffle and
enclosure accept almost any type of latex or oil
based paint. We recommend application of two
coats.
CAUTION:
When applying paint or other
coating, ensure that a dedicated Gripple
decor cover is used to cover the Gripple.
This will ensure that the movement of
the locking wedges inside the assembly is not
impaired. After painting, the Gripple should not be
repositioned on the cable.
Painting Process
Follow this procedure to obtain the best results:
Painting the Loudspeaker
1.
Clean the baffle and enclosure with a light
solvent such as mineral spirits, rubbing with a
lightly dampened cloth.
Do not
use abrasives
such as sandpaper or steel wool.
CAUTION
: Use only light mineral spirits
thinner as a cleaner. NEVER use
gasoline, kerosene, acetone, methyl ethyl
ketone (MEK), paint thinner, harsh
detergents or other chemicals as they may
permanently damage the loudspeaker and some
are also toxic and highly flammable.
2.
Mask the loudspeaker so that the surround,
cone and center area will not receive any paint.
Use a low-tack painter’s tape (typically blue
in color) to avoid damaging the loudspeaker
surround when the tape is removed. We advise
against using conventional masking tape and
NEVER use duct tape in this application; these
kinds of tape generally leave adhesive residue
that can be difficult to remove and that may
actually cause damage.
3. After cleaning, apply two or more two thin
coats of either latex or oil-based paints. Latex
paint will adhere better if an oil-based primer is
used first. Apply the paint with a roller or brush,
or spray it on.
4. The grille should be painted separately, and
when it is
not
in place on the loudspeaker. We
further recommend that you remove the grille’s
internal cloth mesh, then spray paint the grille
assembly. Avoid using a roller or brush to paint
the grille as its metal perforated holes may
become clogged with paint, which degrades
sound quality and also may attenuate the sound.
Reinstall the internal cloth mesh (or if damaged
install a new cloth mesh).
