Have a search, I wouldn't paint the tubes but some would.
I wouldn't buy a RIB with painted tubes, it does tend to put some people off.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a reaction to this thread.
I wouldn't paint the tubes if it was mine.
They look great for a short while, maybe even a seasons worth of use, but when it starts to peel, and it will, then the tubes will look worse than before.
