Remember that the pads were painted on the _inside_ of the originally clear
plastic. So if you re-paint them they will never stay as nice in the finish
as originally intended.

Why paint them? Different colours in the set or do you own an ugly set?

  Subject: [Simmons Drums] Painting Simmons Pads ???



  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
