Changing hood colors?

Has anyone ever changed the hood colors on a graphit reel seat to another color?
I would like to change it from silver to either gold or all black. Thanks for any advise.

I have seen met gold spray paint and of course black, tape off well and coat with a clear finish as one alternative of changing the color of the reel seat hoods on an assembled rod, otherwise as the previous post indicated just buy the desired color

I have had them plated by a commercial metal plating business to produce a copper hood.

You can remove and mix and match hoods but it's not easy to do with the fixed hood. The one on the locking nut is a breeze but the other one is very difficult to do wiithout damaging it or the seat.
