    I painted mine anodized blue, looks killer, but sucks that I have no pics to post it. I used a wire brush with my die grinder air tool and removed all the paint in like 2 mins. I put 5 coats on it so it can get a deep blue to it but enough to reflect the metal under it. You can see where I started with a drum sand paper on it.

    I'll post pics as soon as I take them and develop them considering my digicam isnt workin still.
