I know this is a rather cheeky thing to ask and is outside your normal range of operations but..

is there any possibility of having the grills sent off during the mod to be black powder coated or anodized by anyplace near you?
I'd probably screw something up if I tried to dismantle them myself, but the idea of an all black K1K is very appealing. I'd do the headbands myself but removing the grills gives me the willies. If not, that's ok. Never know unless you ask!
