Well, I have been wanting to paint mine red too, but I just can't see how it won't chip off once I get it painted and back on.

Well, I got Krylon Fusion for plastics and tested it on another black piece of plasitc...i cleaned it with alchohol, used adhesion promoter, painted in an enclosed area of my garage (it was still kinda cold), and used a blowdryer...it still chipped really bad...any suggestions?
