You will have to find someone willing to do it in your area and qet a quote. Probably not cheap since have to take off car, prep, paint and reinstall.

powdercoating is the better option but paint is cheaper. if you're going to paint them, just do it yourself because they will just get damaged over time.

Be sure to post your results. I have not seen anyone else post any self-painted pics.
