Mr Mars had been gifted the following Red Ray-Ban sunglasses:
As much as he loved them, there is the small issue that they are RED and he only really wore them to a festivals etc. But he really liked them and they are "comfortable", apparently.
So he decided he was going to paint them black...
He took some Matt Black Paint (£4.99) and some old Penny Bronze Metallic Paint (£?)...
He then took an old metal coat hanger. And after removing the lenses' he spray painted the frames the matt black (this was outdoors in our garage)...
Then Mr Mars painted the detailing back onto the glasses, he painted the Ray-Ban back on at the sides and the wee bits at the front, all in the metallic bronze...
(Mr Mars hard at work)
He then used a heat gun to get the lenses back into the frames, he followed a You Tube video for this (sorry, I do not have the link). Thankfully we already had a heat gun as we made our own wedding invites, gun was approx £15 from EBay.
Tah Dah...
How cool do these look? He was off wearing them to work today...
