Painted... but not with a high gloss finish. Use a semi gloss paint or semi-gloss clear coat.

Define "rice". This word gets thrown around WAY too much. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't qualify as "ricey".

I think it looks pretty good and IMO the Nautical Blue will look just as good if not better.

Go for painted, it adds a little bit of crafty custom look to the ride.
