    ya I looked into doin the same thing, trust me save some effort and sell the one you got now and buy a new or used one that is already black (I'm guessing that's the color you want to paint it) I did it and ended up selling my old one fore $100 and gettin the one I got now for free

    I agree. If not the paint's always going to be chipping off of it and look like chit.

    Ever think of having it Rhino'd???
