Re: painting?
I've painted a few with regular single stage automotive paint.
The clear might turn yellow, but I say go for it.

Re: painting?
I use wheel paint with good results . Steel Wheels paint or the new Dupli Color wheel paints (Wal-Mart sells it )have had good results . Here is what it looks like after cleaning and paint.

Re: painting?
yeah, don't clear it. The heat yellows clears, even high temp clears.
