Can the Speaker Grille Be Painted?

Yes, the speaker grille can be painted to match your ceiling for a seamless and discreet finish.

The grille can be painted using:

  • Spray paint
  • Standard household paint

Important Painting Guidance

If using household paint, we recommend thinning the paint before application to prevent blocking the acoustic holes in the grille.

Use a mixture of:

  • 5 parts thinning agent
  • 1 part paint

This helps maintain proper airflow and audio performance while still achieving the desired colour finish.

Best Practice Tips

  • Remove the magnetic grille from the speaker before painting.
  • Apply light, even coats rather than one thick coat.
  • Avoid excessive paint build-up, especially around the perforated holes.
  • Allow the grille to dry fully before reinstalling.

Blocking the grille holes with thick paint may affect sound quality and speaker performance.
