true but if the man wants to paint, it can be done. I used some bronze wheel paint i found at autozone, cleaned the piss out of the things, then sprayed some primer, and lots of THIN coats with the paint. Then i put a few coats of clear on and there still looking great today, and dont chip when i go at with my wheel cleaner soap
here are some pics of the befores and after
