Hi Benn, This sounds tricky. We've occasionally painted silver rail black on the ends with Rust-Oleum matte black paint. It always seems to adhere well but I don't know for sure how long it will last. I've never tried painting silver over black.
Is the client unhappy with black rail and silver modules? As long as you're consistent with the type of rail maybe you can talk them into leaving it?

We have a large project and the supplier hiccup'd the order (if you can believe it). The black rails are already installed and silver framed modules are what arrived. One of the options being considered is painting the visible black rail portions to silver. Are there any known, tried and true methods/products for doing this so that the paint will last?
