It's not that hard to paint the fins.

Okay, so maybe it was done by professionals at Colorwarepc.com. I would say, go for a two tone look, the one color makes it look bigger than it already is.

Which is why I am going to paint it in this process:

Orange layer comes first.
Black trim + between the fins
Just buy some striping tape that will fit imbetween the fins then do the chrome. (Local hobby shop.)
