Hey Sean!
Is this what you had in mind?
Sean's favorite band is Fall Out Boy so something with them on it would be perfect for him

What you really need to do airbrush some dark-brown hair rolls on them. Then get one of the pretty ladies on these here forums to wear them:
That would be EPIC! I want pictures of that :yup:

There's no way airbrushing would look good like that. It'd look like a big doggie-do headset. Now, if you were to coil a length of brown wig-hair, affix the inside with elastic so that it could be slipped over the heasdet cup...
Woah. I really need to hit the FOM and the Systems manual.

Hey, omajeta! Welcome to the Monkey House!
Naah, I just did an OMA turn from Newark. I'm an ExpressJet FO. Captain soon, if I don't screw it up!
OK, so day two of reactions. We have a Houston flight attendant, who have a reputation for being somewhat defensive, and a little uptight. New girl. Still on reserve.
So we're taxiing out of STL, and make a right turn to hold short. Suddenly, I hear a LOUD "PSSSSSTTTT!!!!" I look around, see the flight attendant hissing at me to get my attention. The slam latch had not been secured correctly (my fault!) and the door to the flight deck had swung utterly open.
As if that wansn't embarassing enough, as I look back to retrieve the door and latch it, I see rows one through three starting saucer-eyed at my head. I gave the flight attendant a menacing grin, nonchalantly swing the door closed, and latched it. If I hadn't been wearing sunglasses, I would have winked.

I think you could easily get $50 for painting headsets, as long as you did them as good as yours.
I know I would pay at least $50 to have skull and crossbones on my DC's. Maybe in a couple of years when your business is booming.... because they are less than a month old.

You know, I'm glad to hear you say that, because all I do now is nitpick the things: The black paint got under the tape a little here, the topcoat bled the edges a little there, and they still smelled like houeshold spraypaint two days later.
I'm looking into automotive enamel and topcoat, as well as better masking material and a small hobby-type airbrush to do detail work. Fun Fun Fun.
Here's the thing: I do this as a hobby. A goof. Something to fill spare time. My reward is not a bunch of money- it's someone pulling a headset out of a case and the person next to them grinning and saying "Holy crap! Where'd you get that?"
"Well, there's this guy on the internets..."
You dig? Pride. Pride in being a goofball. I love that.

Jimbo,
Congrats on the upgrade. I am sure that you will do fine in the training. I would send you a set of headsets but I figure it woukd be hard to get that kind detail on my earmolds!! You need to get back to this area. Not much has changed in the whole gang. Tom threw Scooter through a wall in the kitchen last week after too much Jack. Somethings never change. Looks like I may get the nod for upgrade around the new year. Can't wait.
