JBL Loudspeakers AS5 - Manual (Page 9)

Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille
AS Series loudspeakers can be
painted to match any style of
decor. If you wish to change
their color, the satin finish on
the grille and frame will func-
tion as a primer coat. Before
painting, install the paint guard
(in the assembly kit) securely
into the recess in the baffle. This will protect the speaker
components and baffle from
paint residue.
Use a high-quality spray paint,
and apply a thin coat of color.
Be certain the grille perfora-
tions remain free of paint.
Filling them with paint will
diminish the sound quality. Note: Gently remove the
acoustical foam blanket from
the grille before painting.
Reattach the blanket after the
paint has dried.
