Painting the Speaker
The speaker's textured white finish complements most decors and does not need further
finishing. Where the interior design requires it, these speakers are easy to paint.
The rim can be painted before installation or in cases where the rim needs to be finished
along with the ceiling, the speaker rim can be painted after attaching into the ceiling.

Painting the Grille -
Painting the grille requires removal of the logo and the internal grille
cloth, then spray painting. If the grille is rolled or brush painted, the mesh may become
clogged with paint and poor sound quality may result. Replace the internal grille cloth
(or if damaged use new internal grille cloth) and JBL logo.
· Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as mineral spirits by rubbing
the item with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not, however, use abrasives such as
sandpaper or steel wool. Nor should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK,
paint thinner, harsh detergents or other chemicals. Use of these cleaners may
result in permanent damage to the enclosure.
· Mask the baffle.
· 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.
Application can be made by rolling, brushing or spraying.
