Is swapping fittings a thing?

Hi all,

I have an absolute BOAT load of bitspower fittings.... all in white.

and I gotta tell ya - I think black just looks better.... so I'm stuck with all these fittings that I don't want...

is there a way to trade with people to swap for black ones? these aren't cheap, I got them for £8-£15 each, and there's like.... 30 pieces :S some I'm not even using so don't want to see them go to waste...

any advice?

Spray paint them?
I've done that before on fittings, works well, but only hand tighten them after painting.

I'm gonna try the spray paint.

any spray paint or something specific?

Just any spray paint (worked for mine) just make sure the fittings are clean.

If you want to go further get them electro plated in black nickel/chrome... Worth asking if it’s just the caps on straight fittings they are probably aluminium so anodising is cheap.
