Anyone painted 5.5gen valve covers?

I have a 03 titanium edition and want to dress up the engine bay a little bit. Has anyone painted their VC's? I know a bunch of 4th and 5th gens have but I've never seen a 5.5 gens painted. So if you have any pictures post 'em up! (I'm not trying to make my car a test dummy for this )

Of course people have. Some even painted them gold.

Since you have a Ti version, paint them Ti, WV2.
