so i was wondering, if i paint a Condenser microphone with Either Spray Paint, or Paint for cars, and throw on a clear coat finish.. as long as i didnt paint the part where the mic is at.. would the paint on the base affect the mic? i know it will maybe make it slightly heavier but im just worried if it will affect the quality of recording?

and also what if i just do a quick spray on the filter screen that covers the Main Mic area?
