Refinishing (Optional)
Mantel is finished in white. If refinishing is desired, the following steps are recommended prior to assembling the mantel:
- Properly cover any areas of work space that you do not want to be painted.
- Lightly scuff the existing finish with 320 grit sandpaper.
- Remove dust using lint free cloth.
- For best results, apply a base coat of spray paint primer to evenly cover the mantel.
- Wait the recommended amount of time per the paint and primer instructions, then apply a spray paint top coat in the color of choice to evenly cover the mantel.
- Apply additional top coats until desired coverage is achieved.
NOTICE
- Follow all recommended guidelines for the materials you are using.
- Do not spray paint near the appliance.
- Do not spray paint while the appliance is operating.
- Always wear appropriate goves, eye protection, clothing and a respirator or mask when painting.
