I raptor lined mine. But I made sure they were clean from oils and what not, just sprayed and they have held up great. The raptor liner instructions state that as long as there is texture to adhere to, then there is no need to prep them in that situation.

Scouring pad or a light pass with some 60 grit. No need to hit bare steel unless the rails have rust bubbling beneath the coating. Wipe clean with mineral spirits. If you have some bare spots of steel peaking through, hit it with U-POL primer acid etch#8. Follow that with 2 coats of raptor liner. The kit has 4 bottles, I'm thinking one should easily yield you 2 good coats.
Don't use the rustoleum or duplicrap, they spray terribly and scratch off so easy

Mine have started to have paint bubbling with surface rust. I've been thinking of taking them off and having them Rhino lined or something like that.
