I've been thinking about doing this but haven't yet. I painted the hubs on my Warrior after seeing my buddy's 400ex when it first came out. I'd like to match the color of the hubs on my Raptor as close as possible to the frame (blue).

Does anyone know of a close match?

I haven't painted them yet but plan to do the same as racerX. The same blue as the frame would look trick, and I don't imagine it would take more than a few minutes to do.

I used Goodson ALB-1 Last Blast Aluminum paint on the outdrive on my boat and it is tough as hell!! they have LB-1 for cast iron too.

I may try the Ford blue.

I painted mine the first day I got it. I used Krylon spray primer and paint. Found a blue that closely matches the frame. Looks pretty good and has held up so far.
