If you don't want to spend a lot of money, high temp spray and gloss looks good. You can do it yourself. Did mine in 3 hours, I've never painted anything before. If you don't want to do it yourself, I can for the low.

Paint and Powder coat is two different things, just so you know.
To powder coat them they will need to come off the car. I have a powder coating setup at my house and I might be willing to do them if I can find the time.

Powder coat is much more durable but takes longer to do. Paint holds up pretty good if you prep it good
