Painting a lumenarc pendant?

lolgranny · 06/08/2010, 03:47 PM

Can this be done? Im putting them up for my brother and hes not fond of the silver and rather have them black. I would think it COULD be done with paint that can withstand high heat, but i wanted to check with YOU pros haha.

Thanks fellas

I think what you got is just the reflector and not the pendant. if you want the pendant, you'll probably have to end up selling the reflector and buy the pendant. I don't think you should paint the reflector. google lumenarc reflector and lumenarc pendant to see the difference.

You can paint it with high temp automotive paint. Was planning the same thing before with my lumenbright reflectors but ended up not doing it. Kinda liked the industrial look of the silver reflector.

I painted mine when I had lumenarcs with Rust-Oleum front HD, and never had any issues. The reflectors dont get that hot.

Agreed! Also - don't forget to cover the rivet holes with tape on the inside so that paint does get sprayed inside the reflector.
