    I'm thinking about painting mine too, although in my case it will be from grey(ish) to black.



    This especially shows how light they can show up as is:



    Thinking of just ripping them off and painting the inside black (since they are like a smoked clear carbon fibre like thing. After all, if that sucks, I can always spray the outside

    Automotive black or something else for the plastic? Thinking matt black will be the go.
