You can paint them, there is a special additive we put in paint for the plastic that makes it stick and flex with the plastic better. Works wonders and we have many shops that use this on a daily basis.

Bulldog Adhesion Promoter is the s**t. Just prep well, and use adhesion promoter and paint works fine.
