I was told it was a Picotto fan who painted them and gave him as a present. He has a pair of them, one in fluorescent yellow (most popular) and the others are blue.
I bought my spray paint in a department store here in Lisbon, real cheap (€6, or 6 bucks), protected the parts I didn't want to paint with newspaper and tape, and then fire away, lol.
The outcome was awesome, although I slighty fucked up in the padded (?) part, some ink got through (so the black part has some blue parts) but I don't care, they look great. Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera, otherwise I'd upload the pic, but if you browse the web you'll surely find picotto's phones (mines are exactly the same color, I think, I only saw his picture once). I painted the majority of the 280s, leaving in black the padded part in the ears and on the top of it. It was quite easy really, and took 1 day to dry out. As for types of paint I really don't know, I just bought the 1st I came across, it was cheap and did the job I guess
Happy painting, lol

but,to be honest, I think mines look cooler, just because Mauro's have some black parts while mines are all blue; but they're quite similar

Yeh I don't think it either, I just posted those pics because the color is very similar to mine.

Obviously Picotto uses the Sony MDR-V700DJ's.

benoitfan, how does the paint stand up to abuse etc.? Can it be chipped off (don't want you to try!), or do you think it might degrade eventually?

Oh and I always thought that Picotto got his 'phones custom-painted by Sony...? Must've heard wrong.

Well I dunno really, but I think it may degrade eventually, which is no problem since I can always repaint them... and yeh I think it can be chipped off, but yep I won't try it lol. But the paint looks as if it is here to stay, they look really awesome, and everyone tells me the same
can't wait to take them to my gig on friday
