I have painted mine, and have had no problems with Chips from Rocks and such, HOWEVER if you do paint them you will have to polish them alot (brake dust kinda Dulls the clear coat)

I didnt even think about clear coat....but I still think powdercoat would be better..its usually not to expensive...if you lived in OK I'd powdercoat them for the price of the coating...usually around $20 for a pound and 1.5oz will cover about 7 sq feet

Thank you, i was thinking of painting them black when i repaint the car here in a few weeks. Oil pump first, then comes all the fun of doing body work.
