You'd be better off just trying to get some than painting. Paint isn't cheap will take a lot of prep and time and also might not give all that great a results. They are awkward things to paint simply with their shape. ____\We|Will|Win/___

You did when I mentioned it age's ago. Whistle You said don't gloss black it they're a paint to do and won't look right. Whistle

I swear you did. But all the same I think it wouldn't look right either just something extra to scratch. Big Cry ____\We|Will|Win/___
