Of course designs and colour choice are a personal preference over standard or what we like to see as standard, personally this isn't for me but maybe a rear lens without the alloy ring might work, we'll see, I'll get a couple of pictures tomorrow and update Genic's thread.
Joe do you remove the whole cups when a full spray job is done? Don't think the black works.

A gun metal grey may work !! I would not go for a polished finish though.. Being cast they may not polish up to well.. One of mine was very porous and it even gased a little when powder coated

Take the lights out Use a heat gun behind the cups... Not too long though just enough to soften the glue and then they will just pop out
