So...trying to accommodate to gf's demands, here's a curve ball...which audio headset/earphones would you recommend that, while keeping good audio, sells also in PINK COLOR? Your average Sony XM, Sennheiser Momentum, Airpods etc...they all lack pink. Suggestions?

Maybe a good pair of headphones and the careful application of some spray paint? Mask and holes or areas you don't want to colour, then apply several light coats until suitable pinkness is achieved. I suspect you'll get bonus points for personalisation.

ABS can be painted, but you MUST be careful about which solvents are in the paint, e.g.

There is no point in trying to paint polypropylene, e.g.

I haven't had any issues painting most plastics with the general hobby type spray paints. I know there are some that'll fail or damage the surface, but I've had good results with Plastikote (other brands are available, etc).

I should probably have been more specific about using spray paints for plastics rather than general ones.
