PAINTING GUIDE
(
OPTIONAL
)
Outrigger speakers have a white finish that blends with most
walls and decor; however, they can be painted to match other
finishes if desired.
REQUIRED TOOLS AND PARTS
• A fast-drying spray-can primer paint, such as Krylon
Sandable Spray Primer #1318
• Oil- or water-based house paint, or spray paint (be sure to
use appropriate exterior house paint for outdoor installa-
tions)
• Masking tape
• A clean, dry cloth
• Pliers and paper clip (optional if you want to paint the grille)
PAINTING THE SPEAKERS
1. Remove the brackets (and the grilles, if you intend to paint
them; see Painting the Grilles). Place paint masks over the
speakers before painting the frames.
2. Apply two thin primer coats to the speaker cabinets and
knobs. (The brackets do not require a primer coat.)
3. After the primer is completely dry, paint the cabinets,
brackets and knobs. Be sure not to paint the red and black
connection terminals or the plastic area behind the grilles.
PAINTING THE GRILLES
Remove and paint the grilles before inserting them onto the
frames.
1. Using a paper clip bent into a “hook” shape, insert it into a
grille near the corner, and pull the grille away from the cabinet.
2. Apply two thin coats of paint (primer is not required). Be
careful not to let the paint clog the holes in the grilles.
3. After the paint is thoroughly dry, reinsert each grille by
placing it in the cabinet and letting it “snap” into place.
