Paint for Lighting Fixtures
 

I want to paint a lighting fixture and the metal rods it hangs from as
well as the ceiling cap to a different color. What paint can I use that
will not cause it to loose its UL rating or simply what paint can I use
to prevent violation of codes etc. What is the nation code for the paint
that can be used for lighting fixtures. I would assume any fire
retardant paint would do.

Thanks

You don't want a fire retardant paint. They are formulated to prevent
combustible materials, such as wood, from igniting.

You just need an oil-base enamel with a moderately high temperature rating.
