My '89 started out blue but for a variety of reasons got rattle-canned matt black with fluorescent highlights (see my sig picture) and then many years later I decided to redo him in Kawasaki Team Green.
I tend not rely on being seen as in my experience being visible really doesn't help if they don't look. I just like the green.
If I ever get rich I will have him professionally resprayed the same green as the 2015 Concours14 with gloss black stripes and belly pan/lower.

after resurrecting my connie from her 5 year slumber last june, (iowa here) I rode every month of the year since june.
not every day, but at least once every month.
Granted, layers and thinking warm thoughts will only get one so far in the winter before one taps out and says "no mas!"

Sounds like you won't be using it for direct cooking but it will get hot enough to gas off though or possibly melt as George has suggested.  If it were me, I wouldn't use it.  I have seen non-Aluminum 'grid' material for sale in hw stores and I have used that as a base for my chimenea when the original grid burned out.

Nice taste in colour.
