i guess they don't look TOO horrible... it matches my room...
the silver+red gives it a kinda andonized aluminum look to the lettering, though kinda tough to see in the picture.
so i was bored today... i had my SR80's, and a red sharpie...

Dude thats pretty cool but the paint in that in room is so bright it burns my retinas!
It would be cool to try some other colors too...bummer I don't have any Grados at the moment because I'm feeling like some green. Does it rub off?

I think that "mod" looks pretty cool, but I wonder how well it'll hold up over time. Weren't there some older grados that were actually manufactured with red lettering?

Looks like one of the first John Grados! Not too shabby.

Dang that room is red, red, red!
I like the Grados with red lettering, not half bad at all!

Woah, I did that to my SR125s a while ago. I love the look of the red sharpie over the silver lettering - it remains shiny, and in certain light seems to have a really cool rust-like color. Nice job, and great photography too!
