Yes cheap indeed but oh well... I already have em on but the silver just doesnt work for me. I am wondering what can I do to paint em over?

Thats the one I have. (actually two since GA has dual)

How would I go about to change the color and still make it look nice? I am guessing I will need a higher temp paint since that does get pretty warm.

(please dont post crap about saying its not worth it bla bla or dumb or anything... just tell me whether or not if its possible and how to do it ... thank you)

I don't think it would turn out right, unless you use high temp paint.. But even then I think it might bubble.. Not sure though, I never thought about it...

I do however, think it would be money and time better spent just getting new tips

Powder Coat maybe, but I do not know the heat tolerance of p/coating

I'm not sure if they make the colors that you want, but try engine block paint. I don't know if they have more colors than orange, but that holds up to the temperatures of the actual ignition of the engine. You'll have to take the coating off the original tips and prep it like you'd prep any part to be painted.

I agree with Mathison. Go find a high temp engine paint and prep the tips well. Should turn out alright.
