PAINTING THE CABINET, BRACKET
KNOBS AND BRACKET:
1. Apply two thin coats of primer to the cabi-
net and knobs. The bracket does not
require a primer.
2. When the primer is completely dry, apply
the finish color [figure 21].
3. When the paint is completely dry, remove
the masking material.
4. Do not reattach the speaker to the bracket
until the bracket is mounted. Try to keep
all handling of freshly painted parts to
a minimum.
PAINTING THE GRILLE:
1. The grille of the Atrium speaker features
an even, protective powder coating. This
powder coating is an ideal primer.
2. Spray on two thin coats of finish color with
no primer [figure 22]. 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. Thick
paint may clog the grille holes.
3. 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
corner, 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.
