I bought the cheapest gloss black paint I could find. Cleaned up the hitch, lightly sanded it then painted it. I then contacted Cequent and requested new decals for the hitch. I did all this last month.
I also painted the edge of the jaws white. Much easier to see if they are latched.
Also if you use a nylon disk on the pin you shouldn't get but minimal paint coming off on the hitch plate.
This is the results.
