So I'm thinking about getting my stem painted white. What do you think?

I dont like the white deep Vs... look out of place on a geared bike.. leave the stem as is. IMHO

that stem you have now is pretty awesome, albeit heavy.

Don't overdo it. Leave it be, it's on the edge of being OTT as it is.

Typically, you want your stem to be the same color as the seatpost.

I'd consider blue hudz. nice accent to the blue in the paint scheme.
not a fan of those ram bars. no stem adjustability, and doesn't play nicely with clipons.
also, way, way overpriced.
as for the stem, photoshop that pic and see how you think it looks in white.
if you like it, get it powdercoated. forget the spray paint. stuff scratches off with a light sneeze.
