Can I Paint GFX Bezels ?

Iv'e Ordered my GFX but haven't Figured Out what Im doing about the Bezels, Im thinking a Flat Black. Can I Paint them with a certain type Of Paint to Withstand the Heat or do they Need to Be Powder Coated ? Id rather not drop the Cash and Wait for a Powder Coating Job if Some High Heat Paint will do the Trick. Just Let Me know All input is Appreciated Thanks

I had mine powdercoated... it was less than $100 including prep... with paint, worst that can happen is that you have to paint them again if it flakes off...

Yep. When I was looking for GFX I checked into this. If you use the high temp engine enamel (or whatever kind of high temp paint) you shouldn't run into any problems.
