Krylon black works just fine.  Use a primer appropriate for aluminum.  Wet 
sanding down to the aluminum is a good first step.  Be careful not to round 
the corners/edges excessively in the process (it's easy to do that).

I had a couple of sets powder-coated but I think I prefer the lighter 
coating that paint leaves.
