Default My new Mathews Jewel and custom painted stabilizer

Just got my Jewel on Friday. Ordered it last Thursday and it was expected to take a month for the pink riser, but I got lucky. Someone cancelled an order for their pink Jewel the day I ordered mine, and since their's was already on the schedule to be made that week, mine got made instead. So it only took one week! It's got 55lb limbs and 25" cams...I discovered after two years of shooting that I am, in fact, more comfortable shooting 25" than 26". I am slowly in the process of customizing it...got the green limb dampeners and waiting on a green Torqueless grip to come. Also, I got a black/red Octane stabilizer (11.5"), and I dissembled it to paint the insert green. It looks AWESOME in the sun! Also, since the stabilizer was such a success, I am itching to paint more stuff. Anybody know if it would be possible to remove the cable guard piece and paint that? Also the metal pieces that hold the string dampeners? I would use a bow press obviously, but I don't want to mess anything up or void my warranty. The paint I used was a spray lacquer that I got in the model car section of Hobby Lobby. Here's the bow..it's a great shooter and so quiet... Sorry for the washed out pics..I'm not so skilled with a camera. I'll post all the pics I took since I can't decide which look best.
