Ha ha... That is the primary reason I went with the Riddlers as I already wanted them a custom color.

thanks! I just used green painters tape and an exacto knife. My wife hand painted inside the arb logo.the worst was the sanding which took about 3hrs by hand

I forgot to add that I use cotton badding in the reccessed holes and a wine bottle cork in the Dip stick filler cap.

Awesome. Also, what paint did you use? That looks perfectly color matched.

I used wheel paint on mine. I seems more durable than regular paint.
