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.


There are "stove paints" that withstand temp to 1200* . I don't
think they are for food contact surfaces.

He'll be ok then; the food won't ever contact it.

I wonder if the paint will be able to endure the kind of scrubbing
that's usually needed to clean drip pans.

I doubt it. As you mentioned earlier, the colored pans are most often a
porcelain variant which will take the abuse of vigorous cleaning.
