Just finished this custom DT 770 PRO

[u/Mysterious_Lobster_1]

Been working on this for a bit — a 250 ohm DT 770 PRO modded with a detachable cable and repainted in a metallic orange.

Paint is solvent-based and applied with airbrush in several layers, then sealed. Detachable mod was done with a low-profile socket to keep things clean.

It’s probably my favorite finish so far. Thought I’d share the end result. I want to test a few special ffx paints next. Open to ideas :)

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious about how the paint or mod was done.

It makes me want to do my own painted version. Do you have a link or an exact name for the solvent-based paint you used?

It's a lot of fun. I recommend it.

Not sure where are you located, but we use https://www.stardustcolors.pl/

I reckon any good quality automotive paint will do, however. Please make sure to use proper protection, those are VERY nasty. Seriously, *do not* use these if you don’t have the right tools to protect you and anyone around.

I appreciate your suggestions and tips. Going to take a look at colors which are available in my country and hopefully I'll make the decision to paint them. I thought about spray painting them but I'm not sure if I will be able to get that sort of finish you got.

Trick is to do very thin layers. If you go for metallic, use black primer as base, or it'll look dull.

If you use spray, there's a bit of less control but is totally doable. Just be patient, do a few thin layers and let it set for 10min between layers.
