Stupid question: Pink water bottle cages?

My wife thinks it would be fun and quirky to put these on her bike, but
everyone only has yellow, blue, etc. Does anyone know of an online retailer
that might carry these or a Euorpean retailer that might ship to the US?

You could buy a white one and spray paint it pink...

Figured that. Wouldn't the paint rub off, though? I mean easily? Or is there
a kind of spray paint that's pretty durable (I'm the kind of guy that never
sets foot in anything resembling a home improvement section). I'm just
thinking about bikes getting rained on, bottles getting slid in and out,
etc. Is there a pain durable enough to stand up to that?

Preston,

I've had pretty good luck painting bottle cages. If you prepare the surface
first, it should not rub off easily. Use light sandpaper to dull the
existing paint, then apply a few light coats of the desired color. Let it
dry and you should be all set!

ye gods.

although I am intrigued by the concept. If Bekah* had bottle bosses,
I'd mount a pink bottle, just for colour-coordination...

A little creative googling shows:

Or a translucent one and fill it with pink lemonade.

Depending on the shade of pink you're looking for, a red bottle cage
might just to the trick. I've bought two from MEC a month ago, and they
look more bubblegum pink than red to me.
