These phones are great but they look like they were made in Taiwan...oh wait, they WERE made in Taiwan. I want to paint them solid black, that is, both earpieces. I will leave the grills silver. I want the paint to have a glossy, acrylic/metal look. Any reccomendations? Advice is welcome...

You have been drinking again.
I will stay this one time...
STAY AWAY FROM THE PAINT
Doesnt go well with electronics, especially when mixed with booze.
THANK YOU.:1:

...man, that was really helpful. I would appreciate your wisdom if I were attempting to paint a set of HD-800's, but I'm not. As I said, I really enjoy this set but they look like crap. For fun, I thought I might try to mod them. I dig the humour, but do you have any constructive help on how I can make these things look half decent?
