1. Remove foam screen from grille before
painting
2. Clean surfaces to be painted with denatured
alcohol or naphtha.
3. To avoid filling grille holes, apply paint in thin
layers.
4. Important: Use fine sandpaper to remove
paint from the bottom edges of the grille.
This ensures electrical continuity for proper
shielding.
