2. Wipe off the other sides of the cabinet, the bracket, bracket knobs, and grille with

a damp cloth. Do not touch or rub the loudspeakers on the front baffle. Make
sure everything is dry before masking.

3. Mask off the binding posts and the brass threaded inserts on the back panel with

masking tape.

4. Mask off the threaded inserts on the top and bottom with masking tape.

5. Protect the front of the loudspeaker by inserting the supplied paint mask in place

of the grille.

Painting the Cabinet, Bracket Knobs and Bracket

1. Apply two thin coats of a sandable spray primer to the cabinet and knobs. The

bracket doesn't require a coat of primer. 

2. Allow the primer to dry completely.

3. Apply the finish color. 

4. Allow the paint to dry completely.

5. Carefully remove the masking material.

6. Do not reattach the loudspeaker to the bracket until the bracket is mounted. Try

to keep all handling of the freshly painted parts to a minimum.

Painting the Grille

The grille is important to the sound of the OS loudspeaker. Do not fill the holes of
the grille with paint. The grille is constructed of aluminum with a perfectly even
powder coat overall. This powder coat is an ideal primer.

If you are using a spray paint, use two thin coats without any primer. If you are using
a compressor and a spray gun, use the finest, most diffuse setting. Practice on paper
if you are not experienced in painting with spray paint.
