Yes, in 1990. I painted the switch housings on an Iron Head blue to match the blue/white paint job I was doing!

In the more recent past, I recall about six months ago someone did the switch housings, inner fairing, etc. in black cherry on an SG.

If you want to be first, shoot the gauges to color-match the bike; I haven't ever seen that done.

I saw some painted switches today. I thought it looked pretty sharp. I think the difference is in the details.
