Paint my Valve Stems?

Just got some New to me black wheels, I came from having silver though thus that's what my TPMS valve stems are colored. Anyone have any suggestions on painting them? Plastidip maybe? Or is it a bad idea entirely? thanks a bunch!

I have silver wheels and black stems. I bought for just a couple of dollars silver sleeves that fit over the stems. No paint in the threads .... no worries about eventual removal of the stems/sensors and the sleeves are reusable . . . all you'd really need in your case is some black heat shrink tube . . . cut to length.
