I would assume you can paint it just like any other item, just make sure you give it a good key

I'd follow this tutorial mate: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=308121

I painted my V-Grill which will be similar (very shiny surface) so I went over it with low grit, about 120 to get rid of the shiny surface, then 400 to get a smoother surface with a key, then prime, flat, paint, laquer etc
