So, I got 4 "paintable" on-wall M3s to use as ceiling speakers for Atmos and DTS:X. I wasn't sure what to expect as there is very little documented here about these, so I figured that I would add some photos.

First off, they are in primer white.




Without grill:


The back states not to remove the brackets when painting, but it will be tricky to get a nice finish with these still on there. I will probably take them off.


Here is everything disassembled:


Close up of the empty cabinets:


And a close up of the tweeters, woofers, and ports:


I will say this about the finish. It is fairly smooth, but definitely had a slight texture to them. I took a 320 grit sanding sponge over them VERY lightly (pretty much a light back-forth-back-forth and that was it and they are SMOOOOOOOTH...

Still debating if I want to use a foam roller for these, or spray them with my HVLP sprayer. The sprayer works really nicely, but I've only used it once so I am no expert at using it.
