      In general - go ahead. W6ISQ has all of his elephant guns painted black 
and you really can't see them. OTOH the aluminum was REAL obvious. 

      If you've got a beam with plastic of one sort or other for element 
clamps (mostly KLM and Hy-Gain), DO NOT spray it with Krylon. Bad chemical 
reaction results.
