Probably won't withstand the heat. Black maybe.

I wouldn't paint it , Darko. Looks pretty damn good the way it is. Love that handle.

I ended up buying 2 sets, so I have 4 handles available to use.

Much cleaner look and lines. Looks more like the welded handle. Nice job Darko.

I'd be tempted to use brass bolts to fasten the handle to the lid, just to more closely match the copper color.

Looking good.  The taco handle doesn't bother me as much as others, but I did remove mine on my 26er and have since upgraded it to Brian's handles!

Great idea! I'll have to see if I can find some.

It doesn't bother me, until I upgrade to wood handles. That's when it looses it's aesthetic appeal.

Nice! I thought about destructing a taco handle to make one like that. Source for the fireplace handle?
