Yes I have ,but I didnt use paint I had everything powder coated ,in black it has been 15 years and still looks like new I also had the bumpers,door handles and anything else I wanted black,if you dont want black they have colors and you can always scuff the coating for a custom color, Hope this helps

Try that Plastidip spray they have now. Looks pretty tough and if you don't like it, it peels off. There's a lot of u tube videos of people doing there whole car.

Yea I have seen it on other cars with different colors  , and it looks great, it is a commitment , and I am sure the purists dont care for it, as it is not stock , but it is a totally different look , I really like the smooth look it creates

Been thinking of this myself.   Didn't think of powder coating them so thanks. Did you have to scuff them up or sand blast them prior to powder coating?

Yes the powder coat shop should do all the prep,unless you want to do it your self(YOU WILL NEED A LARGE OVEN)the surface will have to be media blasted to insure even adhesion.
