I painted mine while on the car using art bruses and Rustoleum Aluminum paint.

In about 10 days I will be swapping mine out. The one on my car has a bent shaft. If you want, you can toss me the shipping cost and I will ship it out to you. This should allow you to take it apart and find out how difficult it is. When your done finding out, just toss it in the trash for me..
