    Painted mine semi gloss black with rustoleum BBQ grill paint about 20 years ago.Still looks good.Just clean it really well,scuff it up with a scotchbrite pad(then clean it again) and paint it.You may want to paint the satin portion or your headlight trim rings as well to keep it looking like it belongs that way.
