Possibly, or possibly not. I think the "tough luck" post was because only NTL can replace the box, they will not without good reason, and even if they do, you will get what the engineer happens to have in his van. NTL don't offer choices of colour. Very few companies do with Electrical equipment. Look at TVs. You currently have two choices (one choice from most manufacturers): Black or Silver. What if you want (say) Red?

And yes are there are more important things outside, but im not outside i'm in my house... and that things NOT staying. They either change it, i cancel it and they take it back, or the spray cans coming out.

I would recommend you don't spray paint it. Apart from the fact that if something goes wrong with the box at any time, NTL will charge you for *any* replacement as you have altered the box, you may also block the vents. Not only would this make the box more likely to fail, it would also make the box a potential fire hazard. If it catches fire, then the colour of the box is the least of your worries.
If the colour is that offensive, I would recommend you either go to Sky (although last time I checked, the Sky + box was white and the Sky HD box was black), or put the STB in a well-ventillated cupboard and use some sort of remote extender to relay the remote control signals to it.
