So I painted the lower chin spoiler that was grey to a flat black with high temp BBQ paint... Will the paint hold on the heel gaurds and the foot peg assemblies. Has anyone tried....I like the flat black look and would like to black out the bike with as little cost as possible.

I used to use that for my engine and pipe back in the day. Worked well.

Powdercoating small parts like that is really not that expensive. I would see if you can contact a powdercoater in your area and get a quote. You might be surprised how little it will cost.

I'd agree in saying powdercoating would be your best choice.

The rattle can will work, but it won't take long for your heal to wear that paint off. An automotive paint, or powdercoat is much much more durable and will last a lot longer.
