might want to get a can of clear coat to make it shine up alittle more
even though its a gloss color, the clear coat will give you more protection and also put alittle more shine on it

oh for got my comment, to be honest i think it looks good and if you left it that shade of blue you will be fine, it looks good to be honest, i bought my yellow optima battery for that reason, but the easier thing would have been do what you did painted it, but its been a great battery to be honest, really happy with it

yep. a can of just gloss cant hurt

Mach&Roll · 09-04-2012, 01:24 AM

I think it looks good. It is a nice touch you don't see often.
