Title: Changing colour of pads
Post by: revboy on February 16, 2011, 09:39:13 PM

I have a pair of green pads that are very comfortable and would like to use them in my league matches. Is there a skin available or do I have to spray them?

Spraying is cheaper option bro but if you want skins that they could be bought from here;

am i right in thinking you want them white to use in matches?

The skins don't come in white I think, you might have to spray them, or find the same pads in white

Yep would like them in white. I think I will have a go at spraying them

White is a hard colour to spray onto coloured kit, you may be better off buying a cheap set on here.

I was thinking that too, cause surely you will still be able to see the Green underneath as white isn't overly 'strong' : I guess doing quite a few coats could be the answer...it depends though. It's all about how unique the design of the pads you like is? There are a range of guys who could sort you on here mate, Mike being one of them. :)

Spraying them will mean lots of layers to cost over the green colour.....having learnt a bit about spraying over the last 3 years lol

The only way you are going to get them white effectively is to use a think, oil based paint that, unless done extremely well, is going to look rubbish, and if you are spraying will still take many coats. Cheaper and much easier to buy a new set...

(Been painting over dark green cupboards with gloss paint - takes too many coats)
