unofficial offical painted supercharger thread

I didn't find one so I figured id start one. I got a buddy who said he would do my supercharger for me and I just wanna see eveyone who painted theirs. Now I don't think anyone has done any type of blue but im thinking about going ***** out and trying a blue. My car is a lazer blue metallic. All pics and comments and suggestions are welcome!!

I painted my flat black. Don't mind the white spots on the top of the S/C. They are just water spots and were easily removed. Here is a pic:

If it is done tastefully people will like it. But it is hard to do that honestly.

The flash on the camera probably made it brighter then it actually is.

pretty good, i've seen one before, but i definately would not do the whole charger blue.

i would say do the flat black with the blue ribs.
