it
will
affect
the

The grille
features
an
even, protective
powder
coating.
This
powder coating
is
an
ideal
primer.
The
grille features
an
engraved
logo
badge.
You
can remove
it
before painting
the
grille or paint right over
it.
Rotate
the
logo
badge
to
its
horizontal E
or vertical orientation prior
to
painting
the
grille.

Using
spray
paint,
spray
two
thin coats
of
finish
color
with
no
primer
[figure

If
you're
using
a compressor
and
spray
gun,
use
the
finest,
most
diffuse setting.
Be
careful
not
to
fill
the
holes
in
the
grille
with
paint.

When
the
paint
is
completely
dry,
carefully
fit
the
grille into
its
recess
so
that
it
is
just resting
on
the
cabinet. Starting
with
one
comer,
go
around
the
speaker
and
push
the
grille into
the
grille
notch
a little bit
at
a
time.
Be
gentle;
the
grille
may
be
easily bent
out
of
shape
by
rough handling.
