i think that the idea of painting that stuff is ok, but with a colour that suits your paint colour better i think that the blue/purple clashes with ur cars colour

If your car was purple or a blueish colour? yeah it would be ok. Unfortunatly being what it is it doesnt match.

Also the old crummy looking leads doesnt go well with it. Some nice 8.8mm Spiralcore leads would go nicely :P

Paint it the same colour as your car (the rockercover ONLY) and use a ИИИИeload of clear and it would look good. Im one for NOT PAINTING YOUR FUELRAIL! It looks tacky
