Custom chains?

Has anyone done custom colored or custom type chains on their cruisers? If so, pictures?

Thinking of throwing a KMC Kool Knight chain on mine

a red bike brought recently has a red chain on it, but the one pic i've taken of it doesn't really show it. i don't know what brand it is.

truthfully, i mean to make some sprocket/gearing changes that will give me higher gearing than it has now, so unless i find more of the same chain i'll probaly take it off. so i'd say unless you don't fool with your bikes much, you're sure of how much you need and won't change, or buy extra chain for future changes, i wouldn't bother with it.

Saw one spray painted pink at the park. It looked ok for the app
Try a solvent cleaning then paint
