Has anyone painted their Vararam?

I'm either going to buy a painted engine cover or paint the stock one on there now. I have seen other intakes painted to match and I've liked it. I was curious if anyone had painted the Vararam though? If it's even possible to paint it? If they did paint it could they post pics? I think it would look good with a painted engine cover and Vararam intake. I did a search and seen this had been asked awhile back but there was never any reponse. I figure since it's been so long and more people are going with the Vararam maybe someone out there had done it.

That makes the intake look so much better IMHO. I've decided I'm going to do it. Thanks for the pics.

Yours looks great with the other orange parts under the hood!

Mine was painted then Hydro-imaged with the carbon fiber look.
