Spray it with KRYLON "Fusion" or use a TESTORS hobby paint stick. Either will work well...

I did mine last weekend. I just wiped with rubbing alcohol and sprayed with high heat BBQ paint as I already had a can laying around. Gloss black probably would have been good, but I used what I had. Nice subtle change.
