Painting the exterior parts
You can paint the grille and frame of your Virtually
Invisible
®
791 speakers before you install them.
Be sure to use paint that is appropriate to the technique
you choose, as described below. Painting is optional
and Bose cannot be responsible for the quality of
adhesion or finish of non-factory-applied paints.
WARNING: Follow all recommended safety procedures
for the chemicals involved. This includes the proper use
of eye protection, ventilation systems, respirators or filter
masks, and fire safety equipment if flammable solvents
are used.
Painting the grille
It is important to prevent paint from clogging the grille
perforations. This can adversely affect performance.
You can use a dry brush or spray paint technique, as
described here. However, do not use a paint roller.
• BE SURE to rotate the Bose
®
logo to the position you
want before painting begins.
• Clean the grille to remove possible contaminants.
Even fingerprints can prevent uniform coverage.
• Check to be sure the paint is distributed evenly and
covers the grille thoroughly.
• Use a tissue paper or clean cloth to protect the
painted grille when you remove the paint shield or
attach the grille to the speaker.
Using a dry brush technique
Unthinned latex paint is appropriate for this method.
Be sure to put down enough paper to cover your work
area and allow for repeatedly blotting the brush.
1. Dip the tip of a clean, dry brush in the paint.
2. Stroke across a piece of paper to reduce the amount
of paint on the brush. When you can see individual
bristle marks, the brush is ready to use on the grille.
3. Stroke lightly back and forth on the front of the grille,
in a horizontal direction, until you need more paint.
Tip: If paint clogs any of the grille perforations, try
angling your stroke or blow gently to unclog the paint.
4. When the entire grille is covered, turn the grille 180°
and repaint it using back-and-forth strokes.
