What black color should I use to paint my Pearl set?

[Drummer Calvin]

Or just wrap them in tin foil.

I am not too handy with torching but I have to remove the green finish first.

And I want to change all the hardwares to gold by powder coating.

It would be cheaper to replace the hardware with gold. That's a plating process, not powdercoating. Powdercoating would be a gold colored paint and won't achieve a proper metal shine unless you anodized it afterward and that's gonna get real expensive for all the hoops, lugs, and rods.

None. None more black.

Haha! I came here to say this same thing.

Candy gloss black with satin black hardware.

Go for the black one.

My experience with paint tells me there is flat, matte, semi gloss, and gloss and whatever number of flecks, sparkle, or glass you add, but there is only one black. Not light black, dark black, etc. just black

Chartreuse with pink polka dots.

all you need do is sand the gloss or finish off of the green, so that the black will adhere. Save the torch for lighting your barbecue grill.

Orange. Why would anyone want a drum kit in a colour other than orange?

 

[Supergrobi]

I wasn’t sure what kind of black is the trendiest or meanest looking

Vantablack.

Never had black drums, so I venture into something to do at home.

 

[Drummer Calvin]

Vantablack.

Like freaking black hole. Super dark black wow

I actually like Orange drums too, but not this time on these 26 year old set. I saw A orange Ford set with non destructible paint the kind they use for truck bed. Nice but maybe later
