Step 2Paint the Skullcandy drivers and amp case
Okay, this is the hardest part. I had already painted mine before I thought about making this an instructable, so I'm sorry you don't get any real in-process photos.
*Dissassemble the driver cases and amp case. You can prime them if you like. I didn't. There is a space on the driver cases where you can fit some cool hardware, or wire some LEDs. The lines going to the bass drivers in the headset probably carry enough juice.
*Spray them with the flat black and let dry. I would do two coats if I were you, remember that you will be gouging into it to make the cracks. If you would like a gritty effect, drop a few grains of play sand onto the wet black paint. they will show up (to cool effect) later when you bronze. Alternatively, a very dirty work area will suffice.
*Now, once the flat black has dried to a tack (its fairly important to make sure it is still tacky),
Load your brush with just enough powder to cover the tip of your brush. Gently buff down the case parts, covering the areas that would logically be exposed to rubbing. This should give the effect of a patina, where the recessed areas remain black and the raised portions are now bronzed.
