Anyone ever painted their bases? I was thinking about lining them all up on newspaper and spray painting all of them. Bad idea? Good idea?

Check out rodent's topic. He painted his very well, and provided instructions on what he did.

Anyone ever painted their bases?

Lots of people have done stuff to their bases. One person for example put a washer on each base then filled it in with a black caulking to glue the washer in place.

Painting them won't hurt anything.

That's exactly what I did. Then used an old tooth brush to flick white (stars) on. Put washers underneath and then glued felt on the bottom
