    The only thing I can come up with is a case of spray paint and a spray can trigger. A friend with a compressor and spay gun setup or an auto body shop that's willing to work on a job that small. Good luck with your project...

    Yes paint It. I do it all the time in beauticians hair Solon and other units. Lightly sand track wipe down clean. The best and easiest way to paint it after prep is hang track and then mini roll it This way you don't scratch the fresh painted track and just drop tiles in. I also have painted tiles and it did well. The L bracket fot the walls pre paint that before setting That way you don't have to trim that in to painl against the side walls.
