Just get some matt black spray and do it yourself

Rub the end thanks with fine paper and etch prime it, then spray it.

As above don't powder coat it, it insulates it too much. A light spray is alot better

Looks nice and is stealthy too

I had considered doing it to mine at some stage but a mate decided to do it to his pulsar and I heard that it WILL affect the performance This obviously changed my mind

Any of you noticed a negative change after doing this or is it a big fuss about nothing???
