You'd have better luck finding blue shock covers.

i repainted my stock ex shocks black and silver, it looks great, then after some heavy useage it tends to wear off and chip, best part about spray paint tho, it can easily be repainted.

wouldnt recommend for 450 shocks or aftermarkets tho, blue and silver woulda looked good tho.

You could always take the springs off and get them powder coated. Works pro series shocks use blue and white spring. Getting some blue shock covers would be the cheapest route, though. I got some black DirtSkins to put on my KFX 450R shocks to cover the white springs.

i always thought shock covers looked stupid but some those ebay links had some preety cool ones. i suppose blue shock covers would look cooler then red shocks with a blue frame. thanks everybody

DirtSkins are the way to go. I shopped around for a while when I was looking for some and decided on them. They are neoprene which is a lot nicer than nylon which most covers are made out of. If they get real dirty you can even throw them in the wash. I had a custom pair made for my KFX shocks and also got one for the rear shock for $40. They also threw in a shirt. I'll post some pictures when I get home from class.
