 Hi, I just finished painting my Grados! Pics after the explanationL3000.gif

 

 

 

1. Sanded them down to make them nice and rough

 

 

 

 

2. Sprayed Rust-Oleum spray plastic primer in a disposable plastic cup, and brush it on the headphones

 

 

 

 

3. I then put the acrylic paint on

 

 

 

 

5. Then, I painted some sealer on them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They used to be SR-60i's, now they're Grado SR-Barney's!L3000.gifIMG_0838.JPGIMG_0901.JPGIMG_0966.JPGIMG_0967.JPGIMG_0970.JPGIMG_0986.JPGIMG_0992.JPGIMG_0993.JPGIMG_0994.JPG

I like the paint job, but IMO the gold 414 pads take them to the next level. Well done.

I take it that you're not going to be selling them ever, more likely passing them onto the kids biggrin.gif

I don't mind the colour scheme but I think you should of stuck to one pattern instead of both sides. Paint job seems poorly done though.

Congratz man, you managed to totally depreciate the value of these cans very quickly gs1000.gif

Ps - I hope you don't plan on using them outdoors.
