I know it sounds daft- but I had a weird dream this afternoon that I spraypainted my badminton racket jet black and put a Nike swoosh sign onto the strings.

Picture an all black badminton racket with a white swoosh logo on the strings.. I thought it was a weird dream, but now that I think of it- it looked pretty damn hot in the dream.

Can you spraypaint badminton rackets and their strings?
I know it sounds mental- but I can picture this lush racket in my mind....

I dont know where this particular dream came from- maybe eating too much turkey- but I know I've tried to get Nike badminton rackets in the past and they dont make them I believe.

It would take some masking up , Esp' the strings. I could do a proper funky racket for ya ;)

i think it may rot/corrode/ruin the strings and tension because of the chemicals in the spray.

i was doing something similar with a guitar ;) but the varnish and such would rot it.

get a cheap one and try it out :)

Would have thought the paint would just peel off during play
