hey guys, ive been lurking around for a while, but needed help on something so this is my first post =)
anyways, im just trying to make my ath m50 look better by colourinhg/filling the audio technica logo on either side of the cans, cuz i reckon it looked a bit plain with just one ring of brushed aluminium, but so far ive had no luck with that whatsoever.
first i tried cutting out the shape from a sheet of aluminum which was about half a millimetre thickness, but it was too hard to accurately cut out a piece that would fit nicely or look good in the end, so i tried using aluminum foil, but that didnt work either because it was again too hard to get accurate
after that i tried shoving bits of foil into the cavity but that just looked bad,
and then i tried pouring wax into the cavity to make a sort of cast and mould but that didnt go anywhere... i was getting pretty desperate at that point =(
i looked around the forums and noone seems to have done this before, i dunno why because i reckon it'll look so much better if the logo was silver as well, like the larger ring.
unfortunately i dont have the tools or the skill to melt down alluminium (lol) and id rather use foil or sheeting rather than cheapoing out and painting it, because i tried that before and it didnt look very nice because i'm not to good with that sort of thing.
tl;dr im basically trying to fill in the audio technica logo on my ath m50 to make it look shiny and silver like the silver rings on the sides of the cans.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
