    I'm no professional, but I looked and didn't find any for 0000 wire and lugs so went with out. I didn't find any for above 2/0.
    Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites,  Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
    - Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.

    For the custom stuff, how about brushing on plasti-dip? Comes in colors too.
