Painting Fork Lowers/sliders

[pkboxer]

I know I've seen some painted fork lowers/sliders on /5 or /6 airheads.

I'm considering it and wondering if people who did it have any advice.

First thing that came to mind was if I should sand them smooth rather than painting over the "texture" of the cast finish.

If painting them offends you please just shake your head and move on.
