    I have some 885s en route and was wondering if they can be painted to stand out a little? And what paint would hold up bc it would be a major pain in the ass to have to take them off to touch up?

    Or is that bad taste?

    Sand blast the old powder coat off, then have them colored what you want. Powder coating is most durable, as paint will chip more readily when dinged with rocks.
