You might try the Mopar paint in a spray can. That way it will be an exact match.

Nothing will hold up to abuse but I recommend Mopar or Duplicolor. They may need a touch up in the future but no biggie.

X2. Powdercoating is more durable, but you can buy a lot of rattle-cans for that kinda money.

Good if you're never going to use them. I'm pretty sure PD won't stand up to that sort of abuse.

As with all paint jobs, prep is the key! Wipe'm down real good with Acetone, then use good ol' Rustoleum!
