get them powder coated, thats the only way the paint will last on them

just give them a quick sand, and take the spray paint to them, wont hold up, but you can always touch them up every now and then.

If you sand, paint, paint, clear coat. It lasts for a while, but with a power washer mine finally broke paint free after two years.

I just did some with the bedliner last week. It worked great. Sand them with a red 3m pad, then wipe them with paint thinner and a white paper towell until the towell is clean. Then spray away. I used about 3/4 of a can on two wheels. I did the back ones in the pic to match the fronts.
