@@TheEd5 sometimes they come painted and sometimes they come textured or sometimes they come in flat black it depends on which model you get,the flaT black you could paint it gloss and the gloss type you could have it painted in flat black but you cannot paint the texture one because the paint won’t stick it will peel off. And to take the flare off just remove the clips and screws from the bottom and then pull it off. But keep in mind sometimes the clips break when you pull it off and sometimes they don’t.
