PAINTING JBL VERTEC DP SERIES SYSTEM PRODUCTS
VERTEC DP Series enclosures are constructed of JBL PlyMax™, an exclusive hybrid engineered-wood
technology designed to reduce enclosure weight while offering exceptional panel rigidity with the appropriate
acoustical properties. The exterior of each enclosure is covered with JBL’s exclusive DuraFlex™ finish.
Each JBL Professional VERTEC DP Series system model is readily paintable. The DuraFlex finish provides
a lightly textured surface that any household or industrial paint readily adheres to. The result is a speaker
enclosure that is able to blend unobtrusively into the decor of any stage set or environment.
Instructions for painting wood enclosures (do not paint the JBL DrivePack
®
):
1. Prepare the enclosure surface by cleaning and wiping off dust and film with a damp cloth. It may be
necessary to use a mild household cleaner to remove grease. Avoid using a cloth that will deteriorate over
the textured surface.
2. Apply as many coats of paint as is required. Application can be by rolling, brushing or spraying. Care must
be taken when painting the grille. Avoid any paint or type of application that will clog the open cells in the
foam of the front grille. Depending on the type of paint, it may not be wise to spray the grille.
3. For painting systems that are installed in environmentally-hostile locations, it is recommended that an
automotive paint should be used for maximum protection.
Note: for systems that will be transported on a regular basis, oil-based paints or Krylon-type spray paints will
give better long-term results than water-based Latex type paints.
