Anyone ever done this? We have chrome ones that we keep clean but
are
aging and would like black ones now and before paying upwards of $40
for a new set of four, was wondering if there is any harm or danger
to
painting them black with high gloss metallic paint or something.



The colored ones I've seen for sale have a porcelain coating, not
paint. I think your paint job will last about 20 minutes.



Just a thought.... Don't they sell "high temperature" paints for
things like barbeque grills and engine exhaust manifolds?

I don't know the specs on those, but they might just take the heat at
those locations.

Dupli-Color makes a high heat manifold paint. It says on the can it's
good to 1200º. I painted my entire cat back dual exhaust system 2
months ago. Still black and no rust, but it's not on the manifold.
