I painted my eights with the new rustolium hammered black finish. Mine were on my old TJ and sitting in the garage for 2 years..... a little sand paper, elbow grease, a set of spacer adapters and BAM brand new.... I'll send a pic. The hammered finish is a little expensive but it looks like glossy rino linning......

I agree, if they are less than a year old I would be on the phone with pro-comp!

Take them off and get them powder-coated.

Sounds alright.
