Oh that's weird. The rods come off completely, the screws holding mine in were EXTREMELY tight. I didn't want to keep trying to loosen them and end up stripping the screws. Just sand them down really well, and I wouldn't put many coats of paint on them.Also, allow plenty of time for the paint to harden, there are little ball mechanisms inside the headband that press against the rods and would probably scratch the paint straight off if it isn't hardened.
