Spraying the platter

No! But definitely, it will change the color of the platter unless you are using "Natural" or "Clear".

I hope you do not mind but may I ask why you want to change the color of the platter? I am curious!

Markd51, I'm not trying to achieve anything as far as sound is concerned, it's purely for cosmetic purposes. I normally listen to my music in total darkness, I thought it would be cool to spray some invisible UV paint on the platter so that it will shine under blacklight, but then I'm worried that it will spoiled the sound.

Thanks for the LED light suggestion, I took a look at MCintosh TT, I don't know how they do it. When I look at my TT, the spacing between the platter and the plinth is too small to accommodate any LED.

Thanks

if you want to add some cool effect, what about placing some EL wire on the plynth, all around the platter? Take a look:

It's used a lot in pc modding, so it would be easy to find it in many variants and colours. Hope that helps.

Spray away dude. Once upon a time, the hobby was fun, and people built kits and expressed themselves in the the aestetics and sonics of the final product. That fun evaporated as the prices for most of this junk started to run into four, five, and now six, figures and we got.....well old, old, old. Old people like to tell you that fun is no good for you. Heck, just to buy a can of that spray paint you are going to have to go behind a locked cage at the hardware store and show them your liscense like you are some crazed huffer out to undermine the neatly manicured lawns in the orderly society. Don't believe it for a New York minute; it won't change the sound, but it may make you smile.

Go ahead and spray it, those who worry that it will change the sound suffer from Audiophilia Nervosa. I *would* recommend that you use a platter mat to keep the records from making direct contact with the paint. Go for it - it'll look great!!
