Paint stock housing for Projector or not?

Just looking for opinions and any input from people who have done it. Paint the stock housing bucket or leave it reflective coated?

Painted looks cooler IMO. I don't think it makes any performance difference...

As long as you use a shroud to catch any stray beams that could otherwise end up in the wrong place, you can do either without much difference... Performance is the same, on looks more "stock" the other emhasise the projector lense...

Thanks Tweety, that was my concern with unnecessary light refraction. Also would it be better to go with 3Five or 5Five setup. Usually more power the better but I want to make sure on any thoughts.
