I, too, hate "Skywatcher Blue". It's horrible.
I painted mine with "Antique White" PlastiKote. Looks great.
Just some advice - you need to let it sit in the sun for a week to cure before you mount it back up again, otherwise the felt liner inside the two rings sticks to the surface.

Call me lazy, but I HATE hanging around waiting for paint to dry and harden! Refurbishing my trusty Meade DS-10 Newt, and went down to the local signwriter for some adhesive vinyl they use to laser cut lettering from. $10 for a white piece 1300mm square. Took all of about 5 mins to apply to the tube (a fraction of the time it took to clean and prep it!) and "presto!", NEW TUBE.
Pics show before and after. Refurb' still only about 70% done.
Clear skies !
