These were my spray painted pads after about 3 years of use, they seemed to hold up okay but were starting to look a little tatty by then!  If I remember rightly it was just a can of spray paint from B&Q.....not really good enough to play at that level any more so haven't bothered painting them again.

Still trying to decide whether to attempt this or just look to move the pads on to somebody who might want them! Thanks Bez and 123* for sharing your pictures, are there any other members who have got some pictures? :)

You can buy these things from clads4pads and they are essentially a coloured sleeve that fits over your pads. But you have to buy them in from australia and they are around au$30.

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. The idea with this would be to actually get the material coloured as they aren't exactly needed and would be a little experiment/something to try!
Clads are also available in England mind such as - http://www.morrant.com/cricket_equipment/clads_4_pads/10315_0c.html

Clads4Pads would certainly be the safer and more convenient way but where would the fun be in that? ;)

that is so true!!! I myself would probably use spray paint as it is so much cheaper :)

Did anyone succesfully do this? Im thinking of sorting some of my old legends out and putting some dark blue on them? Any advice from experience which has worked would be brill

theres no point in doing this when you can just buy some clads off the internet that are just a material and slide over your pad.

Clads are £25 and are risk free.
You can get rattle cans of paint in my local poundland, at 1/25th of the cost of Clads there's a lot more fun to be had going for the cheap option!

I have two pairs so have nothing to lose. Im definitely going for the spray option. What paint shall I use? Do I need to coat them in anything afterwards to protect the paint?

Am I only one who doesn't like Clads nor like spray painting the pads?

Rub them down, like really good. Cover the softs as well as you can, 2-3 layers of paint, 20-30 cm away to limit running of pain - is it happens, wait till its dry and shave it off with 1000'ish sandpaper. When youre done paining - will take you 2 days with dryingtime, apply 1-2 clear coats. Ive done it a couple of times - here on my Islands:
