Yup, go to a body shop and they can paint them whatever color you ask them to. That's really all you need to do. Really shouldn't be too expensive.

PS - - Body shops don't use plastidip... nor should they. I'm on the bandwagon that this plastidip bandwagon needs to slow its roll. The body shop will use the proper type of paint for this.

They prevent ants from hacking away at your engine wires..
