You leaving the rest black or are you doing more to it?

Posted by Greedy on Jan-14-2005 20:41:

well the part that i didnt paint on the pioneers are the rubber parts and the shiny part which i wasnt unsure if the paint would work well with so i decided to be on the safe side and left it alone. Plus subtle is good, i didnt wanna over do it and paint the whole thing neon yellow/green.

so how did you do it? spray? rollers? brush?

Posted by L.E.N. on Jan-14-2005 21:14:

What paint did you use. Id like to find a blue and red( not pink) thats blacklight sensitive. In the brand that you found, did they have those colors?

Posted by Greedy on Jan-14-2005 21:23:

i used spray paint. Next time, i would use regular hobby paint because i think the color would show much better. The problem with spray paint, is that the painted parts feel a lil gritty, but not too bad. Im an impatient guy and i just had an urge to paint and it was like 10 pm last night so i didnt spend the time to shop around for real paint. But nonetheless, it turned out REALLY good.

What a waste of good headphones...

Posted by L.E.N. on Jan-15-2005 04:00:

Waste?...its just headphones...they still work. Just because you wont wear them doesnt mean its a waste. Its prefrence. I happen to like little projects like this.

Posted by abnorm on Jan-15-2005 04:13:

ok ok sorry, enjoy the project of painting headphones. I have some weird hobbies myself.

gloss is at the end period. If you double gloss itll look noticable,gloss is very thick when dry,although it doesnt look so. gloss is last thing to do. Dirty work first, and you have to put special adhesive onto the graphic before doing it aswell as bonding adhesive to the paint for it to stick better and look better,it also wont streak down.Id really recommend a light color primer first,such as a white. Many reasons to that. Then again after you paint you wanna make sure to sand it down a bit with a very small grain sandpaper to its not so griddy when you apply gloss to it. If you have enough patients you can sand down the last coat of gloss too and recoat another layer of gloss to ensure even better looks. This is my list of what i did to my older MDR's.

1.Adhesive "Bondo" Spray
2.White/Gray Primer
3.Neon Color Coat #1
4.Neon Color Coat #2 (Extra Effects/Touch Up)
5.Graphics
6.Gloss

Full job was about 3 hours.

I also redid the head band part color to fit my blue headphones,i made it white,fully new leather puffed stiched fabric with custom made sony letters,spray painted and glossed.
