painting pole peices

[Rotti]

Has anyone tried painting the pole peices on a single coil pickup? I would like to paint a single coil middle position pickup gloss black to match the humbuckers. That includes the pole peices. I'm wondering how much it will effect the sound.

Yep that would work, I have done this to silver screws, but eventually it does wear off with sweet, but the poles you would touch really...

and Yes, you can buy different color poles from Dimarzio, but the humbucker has have the screw in poles...

Just special ordered my Evo 2 bridge & Evo neck Black w/gold poles. Just got them saturday... wow Gold and black looks amazing

What about taking the cover off and quickly shooting it with some black spraypaint?


(I was actually thinking about doing this on my upcoming project)

acrylic paint seems to work a little bit better but still eventually wears out. If you're going to take it out, just airbrush it, it'll probably stay on better.

I used tremclad. That stuff sticks prety good. Time will tell how good.
