Default Painting shocks?

I am wanting to get the blisteen 5100s but I'm not wanting the blue. I have a red rock and the stock color would just pop out. So should I not just worry about it and just get them and think of it as a sign of non stock or should I just sand and paint black?

Every 5100 I've seen is bare-aluminum-silver.

If you paint them they will not replace it if it goes bad.

Okay. Well I would be fine with just silver. Just don't want them blue.
