painted all mine...even my summit viper. cant stand that factory greenish grayish color...it stands out like a sore thumb. i painted my lock ons as well...what a difference it made...atleast from my eyes. used green, brown and a kaki/tan color. the tan color really helped alot..used green as the base and alot of brown and tan to break it up...its more brown and tan than green...i used the camo paint Walmart sales...its a little more expensive..probably because its made for camo jobs....but it is FLAT..
