Hi all
Is it possible to paint the shell of a simmons pad ? Has anyone
done it ? Can anyone tell me what type of paint to use ? Do the
pad heads separate from the shell easily ? Reason for asking, is
that I have acqured a set of pads which need some tlc, they are
badly scratched. I was thinking of separating the head from the
shell (god knows hoe without breaking it), sanding down the shell,
undercoating and then getting them re-sprayed professionally. Any
thoughts or ideas welcome.

Cheers, Drew
