Clean the unmasked painting area with a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean the enclosure. Paint the enclosure using a spray, brush, or roller.
Painting the Grille
ArenaMatch and AMU loudspeaker grilles are made of perforated stainless steel with an acoustic foam and stainless-steel mesh backing, and a powder-coat finish. Use paint appropriate for these materials. Remove the grille and clean it with a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean the grille. Only paint the front-facing surface of the grille. Do not paint the acoustic foam or the steel mesh backing. Use a paint roller to apply a thin coat of paint to the grille.
