Pad Colouring?

[Jevans]

I just taped up my bocks (6 layers and yellow hilights )
But looking at it, I think they clash with the Orange padding.
How would anyone go about making them black/yellow/fitting with anyones grand scheme of things?
Ideas welcome!

Edit: Yeah, no idea if colouring is spelt right
Here's a little piccy:

I have same problem, mine are yellow, blue and black, but orange padding does clash, i just put more haz tape round the actual binding straps and back pad

I think they look good Jevans  always like yellow and black

But I am colour blind

The foot straps are stitched in so could be unpicked and a sewn a new foam pad cut to the shape of the one you take off ( you could just about get away with leaving it with nothing ).
The calf pads put on with studs so you'd have to drill them off and cut a square of foam and glue or use double sided foam tape.

Thanks for the comments all,
I was thinking 'bout taking off the pads and painting them with <Name of spray paint that does foam>
But they do look pretty solidly attatched, I'm not too hot on the sewing machine, so that may affect my direction inn the matter

Cheat use glue

you can buy paint pens dude...
although they are £3 a throw lol...
then you can do what ever colour you want...
i used them for the logo's on my straps...
it would need a few coats mind...
or failing the hasstle of removing them... a good permanent marker pen would do it... that would need a second covering also...
just take your time getting it neat... rounded nib on pen etc...
good luck....

[Jevans]

Ah paint pens hadn't thought of that!
I'll pop down to the art shop on monday, see what I can dig up

I covered mine with some sticky back plastic stuff, it worked well and I cut it so it went behind too.

does anyone apart from you look at your strap when your on them  

makes it easyer just to wear long baggy pants

[Jevans]

It's true that their not that notcieable, especially the back/calf pad, but it still sticks out abit, one of those things that catches your eye?
Especially when you have no orange at all in your colour scheme

Baggy pants? I'd probably get them cought up in something and stack it

[Bbmthbloke]

but when out bock  you cant see the colours 

[aidanh1]

if ur running and jumping ur not consantrating on ur pad colours and neither is anyone els there just watching you

[nephew]

My bockers are red and black so im saying that u should go for that

[zendalfire]

You can put pvc/vinyl (electrical) tape on the orange part of the foot bindings.  Just cut a piece slightly larger than the exposed orange foam, stick it on and tuck the ends under the black rubber part.  It sticks surprisingly well and will perfectly match your springs 

You can use the same idea for the calf-pad, but you may want to use the larger size of tape so there are fewer seams.  If the ends of the tape are tucked underneath the backing, it should hold up well, and it doesn't look bad either 

[Jevans]

Thanks I may just try that!
I couldn't find much in the area of Paint Pens,
But I'm Re-Doing my tape anyway, I'm sure I'll have plenty left over!
Thanks

If you want black or dark colour it's easy !?
Has these parts are made of foam just use a clothes dye 
If you want lighter      .... I'll think about that and get back to you

Take the calf pad completely off.  You don't need it.
