Has anyone tried painting theirs to colour code? Seems quite bendy which would make it difficult?

How much should it be to have someone do it?

I had one fitted to my Hawkeye, they are quite flexible but you can get them painted, I was quoted £30 but never got around to it, I was told that it would paint ok and still be ok with the flexibility etc and that was by a mate who owns a body shop

Cheers all...

Here's a fitting guide for the bugeye one...

You can do it yourself, but rattle cans won't have any plasticisers in the paint so they will crack and craze fairly quickly. Get a pro to do it and they can mix enough plasticiser into the paint so that it will still flex

Is it worth bonding on these as well as bolting on? Is there any guides for fitting one to a blobeye?

If it is as well made as the bug ones, then bolting them is more than enough.
