Painting Your IWSub Reference The IWSub Reference is easy to paint. It virtually disappears into your room when it is the same color as your wall. For best results, paint the grille and frame separately prior to in-wall installation. You Will Need: • Paint of your choice (to make the job easier, we recommend spray painting the grille). • A paperclip (for removing the paintable grille). • Masking tape. • Paint mask (to cover unpaintable parts, supplied). Preparing to Paint: 1. Separate the parts

Painting the Grille: 1. The grille of the IWSub Reference features an even, protective powder coating. This powder coating is an ideal primer. 2. Grilles must be spray painted. Do not use a brush and paint. Thick, brushed paint may clog the grille holes and impair performance. 3. After removing the grille by care- fully hooking it with a bent paper clip and pulling it gently away from the frame, spray on two thin coats of finish color.
