Not to be a critic, but in the picture it looks like you painted the CV Boot? If you did,,,your planning on changing those right? and if you didn't and it just appears that way \ then disregard this post...Just sayin'

why are painted cv boots bad?  enquiring minds want to know.
The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

My thought... paint on a flexible petroleum based product makes them stiff dry and causes them to crack.

Did I guess correctly?

SMUG got it right on the head. No Paint, No Carb Cleaner, Brake Cleaner, and even engine oil will cause premature Boot failure.
