Okay. just checked it out. They all look fantastic. Thanks Armaegis.

It's not leather, it's pleather. All HD 25-1 iis have a pair of pleather and a pair of velour pads included, but most people use the velours because they provide better bass () and are much more comfortable. I tried the pleather pads on my pair for all of ten minutes before switching the pads straight over and never looking back. The cable is pretty sweet, though.
As for your questions:
- Yes, almost certainly.
- It's your choice. If you're using blue earpads you'll want the colour to complement that - perhaps a dark blue or navy?
- Primers are the kind of paint you put down first to give a good surface to paint on to, kind of like a treatment to make a whole surface even for painting. Finishes are the opposite; a coat you put on top of your main paint to protect it and also give a matte or gloss effect to the whole thing.
Thread resurrection!
Now that I've exhausted my descriptive skills, are there any tips on painting the little swivel caps, just a delicate touch? They seem like they'd be tricky. Also, has anyone tried sanding/filing off some of the little steps off the caps? A lower profile look would be nice, kind of like the Amperior. I've never liked these caps, they also look like a tribute to Devo.
You can sand off the ridges but they are hollow inside so you can't go too deep.
Wow Airkitoy, those are some dam sexy looking headphones
Mind sharing what type of paints, primer and clear coat you used?
