They take paint quite well too if you don't like the look of them, with a black high gloss they look quite respectable on the lathe.
Since I've never been around them I wasn't aware that they would take to paint very well. Always figured since they are basically plastic to get a good adhesion I figured they would have to be sanded and prepped like any other plastic, which is another substance I avoid when ever possible.
