PAINTING CONTROL CONTRACTOR 40 SERIES
LOUDSPEAKERS
The trim ring and grille of Control Contractor 40 Series
loudspeakers can be painted to match almost any decor.
The speaker’s polystyrene rim accepts almost any type of
latex or oil based paint.
For best results, the following procedure is
recommended:
1. Clean the rim and grille with a light solvent such as
mineral spirits by rubbing the item with a lightly dampened
cloth. Do not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel
wool, nor should you use gasoline, kerosene, acetone,
MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents or other chemicals.
Use of these cleaners may result in permanent damage to
the enclosure.
2. After cleaning, apply two or more thin coats of either
latex or oil-based paints. Latex paint will adhere better if an
oil-based primer is used first. Application can be made by
rolling, brushing or spraying.
Painting the Speaker Along With the Ceiling – Insert
the clear plastic paint shield into the front of the speaker
to mask the drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker,
then remove the shield.
Painting the Grille – Painting the grille requires removal of
the logo and the internal grille cloth before spray painting.
Multiple sprayed coats using thinned paint is recommended
to avoid clogging the grille holes. If the grille is rolled or
brush painted, the mesh may become clogged with paint
and poor sound quality may result. Replace the internal
grille cloth and JBL logo.
Maintenance -- No maintenance is required when
assembled in accordance with the instructions and wiring
guidelines described in this manual.
