Yeah should`nt be a problem. I painted my GTS disc spokes with el-cheapo acrillic spray paint and that lasted years. It was corrossion that finally came through but there was no heat damage. I just repainted them recently and before I did so I carefully brushed on some of that rust converter stuff. Not sure what you call it, very watery, dry`s very quick and leaves a white residue. Then sprayed over that. That was a few months back now and all seems well. Certainly no heat damage. There are no huge hills around my place though. Maybe if you live around a heavy duty mountainous area they might have to deal with more heat.
