Question Painted mud flaps ?

Has anyone painted their mudflaps to color match the body ? I'd be interested in seeing a 2dr TW coupe ...

I've got painted ones on my RR sedan. Considered DIY, but my local paint shop quoted $50 for the job (both in & outside were painted), so I decided DIY wasn't worth the hassle.

I painted my mud flaps a few weeks ago. Its kind of a pain in the ass to get the flaps off if you leave the tires on. What i did to paint them is just clean them up real good give it a light sand with 100 grit paper, using a higher grit would probably a better choice. Then i just sprayed 3 coats on and let it dry a few days and put them back on. I got the paint at Napa for about 30 bucks with a little plastic spray gun.
