Colored Panels

Has anyone painted/powdercoated/anodized their aluminum panels black?

Re: Colored Panels

Not yet, but that is my intent. I will either have the panels anodized, or (more likely) will paint them and the chassis after installation. Anodize would be cool, but difficult to repair or modify later. And I'm not so keen on the "bondage look" that you get with shiny rivets on black panels.
