i used to do this w/ my car, its seems to me it is a plastic. I would sand it, then use Krylon fushin (few layers). its a spray can, but it stick great to plastic, and will look just as good as the ones seen in this thread. just my .02, might do this one soon

You can sand them smooth w/ a 320 grit then prime them. Be sure to use a flexible primer so the paint doesn't crack later.

Proper prep is the key. Especially make sure to get any and all waxes off.
