LOUDSPEAKER CABINET PAINTING PROCEDURE
I SERIES cabinets are available in standard colors of Black and White; custom
colors may be ordered as Configured-to-Order items. The cabinet finish is a
resilient water-based paint that makes an excellent substrate to accept most
types of paints, allowing custom colors to be applied in the field. If you are
considering painting the cabinet, we recommend ordering the White version
of the cabinet for the most predictable results when color-matching existing
colors. A Black or White replacement grille cloth kit should also be ordered. For
most custom colors, black grille cloth is recommended. The kit also includes
replacement soft plastic trim strip (to fit upper/lower edges of grille).
Follow grille removal instructions (Figure 6a) and reserve hardware for
reattachment.
Warning
: The grille edges are sharp! Use care when handling the unprotected
edges of the grille to prevent injury.

GRILLE AND ALUMINUM RETENTION STRIPS
The grille and aluminum retention strips must be removed and
painted separately. To paint the grille, carefully remove the grille
cloth backing and the soft plastic strip protecting the top and
bottom edges (Figure 6c).
Use paint that is compatible with powder coating, and paint the
outside (front and sides) of the grille and allow the paint to fully
cure. Do not paint the cloth or rubber trim. Paint the front and
edges of the grille retainers with the same paint used on the grille.
Allow paint to fully cure before reassembling.
