No I didn't paint them but after a while they will turn gray and brown after they get some exhaust and dirt on em!! Lol. It looks better than the bright white that goes with nothing else on the truck!! Ha

Why not, you might as well while you have them off right? Just tape off the rod and the hole real good so everything will slide like it's supposed to. But first I would check the warranty just incase one turns out to be a dud and then they won't take it back cause it was painted, cause you know they'll find any reason not to give you a new one
