Robert, once you go black, you never go back. Get some BBQ paint at Home Depot. Works good and is plenty reasonable. I'd scuff up your silver paint with coarse sand paper or steel wool, wash down with lacquer thinner or brake cleaner, and give several light coats. Also, you can spray the remaining paint into an old sock and huff away a few million brain cells, so I've heard.
