Paint or leave it?

Something i've though about and talked about for a while now. Should i paint the lowers on the 04 R1 red to match the rest of the bike or leave it alone? I was thinking paint the lowers red and match the YAMAHA decal color to the color of the R1 decal?
The picture shows my bike as is now

Personally I'd leave it. The reason being that they left it the dark color for a reason, and that reason is that it masks all the dirt and crap that fly up off the road onto your lowers.

However, since I seem to remember you waking up early last 'stock to wash your bike down every morning, that may not pose (NPI) as much a problem for you as it would me
