Makes sense to me, if you're not into strict originality. High heat black
(aka barbecue paint) works well, as long as you oven-cure it before
installation. But it's really soft and easy to damage before it's cured.
After curing, it's almost as good as powder coat. 30 min @ 400F works for
me ... if you're using the kitchen oven it's best to wait until your SO is
not around.
