The black textured ones? I'm doing this to mine as well. Sand em, spray some "Bulldog Adhesion promoter," prime, sand with a fine sandpaper, spray a couple coats of whatever color you're doing (PTM cans are only about 16 bucks form ford..), clear coat, and you're done! Maybe do some wetsanding if you're not satisfied with the texture when all is said and done! Good luck

Or you could give your local paint shop some work.

none of the painters around here will pain 'em. They can't offer a warranty on textured plastics cause its so hard to get the paint to stick. Everyone i've gone too has recommended bulldog adhesion promoter. Don't know if the OP is in the same boat i am, but it's a pretty easy DIY project!
