i think it's worth it because it is more durable than paint, looks nicer and is probably easier to clean. but if you are unsure of the worth, go ahead and paint yours and then clearcoat them. the only other benefit is that you won't have to disassemble them to paint (leave them on the car, tape around it) and you won't be without your car for a long time (paint dries fast)
paint is fine if you do it right. plus its only $5/can
