I've been messing around with acoustics and soundproofing for about 6 years or so. I've worked on several "studios" over the years, and have finally constructed my final home practice space/recording studio (Airtight room, w/ concrete walls filled w/ sand, decoupled from sheetrock on both sides, and non-reflective s-shaped ventilation = -80db sound reduction!).
This whole time, I've been using the same sheets of sound foam for acoustics and they've gotten a little beat up from all the moves, etc. I've just about tapped out my resources on gear and building materials and I would hate to throw away all of this good working foam; however, I want it to look good too. Does spray painting sound foam reduce it's acoustic properties significantly?
