+1 to this. The Krylon Camo/Fusion paint made to bond better with plastics/rubber works pretty well on the Butler creek covers.

Hit 'em with some 000 steel wool first or a little wet/dry 400 paper to scuff the surface, or the paint will peel off the cap portion.

Ok. I am impressed with the results that some have achieved then. I may give it a try. I've tried painting them years ago but the paint just peeled off in a short time. Perhaps the modern paint formulations are much more suited than the stuff we used to get from the supply sergeant.
