I like my painted version, thanks to @Boxtaboy and others here. I painted with a rattle can using proper prep, paint and polish techniques, it came out great.

Best thing is…sunscreen? No problem! Clean up is a breeze! I wax it when I wax my car and forget it the rest of the time. The silver is a LOT COOLER than the black used to be.

The hardest part was the prep work and getting the "coating" off the part. This took time and the curing of the paint took a week, so i combined it with dialing in a Short Shift Kit at the same time….end result? FANTASTIC!!! I plan to do more…after the IMS/RMS/Clutch.

Thanks for the idea!
