Something seems not safe about this idea. I saw a bike just like mine today with Black superbike bars and thought that would look good. Any feed back would be appreciated.

I just had some bars powdercoated gloss black. It cost $30 and this included media blasting. You could also paint them if you wanted to. I can't think of any reason why painted bars would be a safety issue. -
Mine are painted
They are knurled where they bolt on to the steering head.
I cant see any safety issues.

Painting is no big deal... at $20 for bikemaster bars might be cheaper to buy a new set though

Strange? I am getting a set of bars knurled at the moment, then i will paint them.
I didnt think it was really common, at least i know i might not be as stupid as i though!

Not sure why painted bars wouldnt be safe. If you wanted to do them yourself, Id suggest using a self etching primer first to get a good bond to the steel. If the bars are chromed, sanding with a course to fine metal sand paper first will be the thing to do.Comment
