no, but they are a flat black, no gloss and scratch easily. so may want to sand and put a clear coat.

I have mine on my gray f150 and they look awesome without being painted. They come in like a flat black coating

Most people don't paint them. I didn't. But I've seen them painted and in my opinion they look better painted. I put Amorall on them to give them a darker look.

I had mine painted to match my truck. Adds to the cost, but to me worth the money.

i don't think so unless you have some top coating on them already. Watch the DVD that comes with the paint. You will need to clean them prior to painting of course but unless you have some glossy finish you should be good. But that is just my opinion and not knowing what you are painting over I strongly suggest watching it first. I painted over dark laminate and had no issue.

The ones I got came with just black. I think you can have them painted but the black looks pretty decent.

They are unfunished. Ready to paint, stain, or varnish. Thank you for your query.

Yes, The car does have to be painted. We used spray paint which made it alot easier.

You do not have to paint it. If you want to add some small details, it is up to you. But entirely, it is not needed.

I haven't noticed any rust issues, but maybe you can spray paint or clear coat them.

Im not sure, I wouldn't recommend it. The material is designed to be weather and sun resistant. So painting it would defeat the purpose. They still look great after two seasons, but they are stored in a shed during the Winter.

My son painted them. I know that he used spray paint, but I think that most paints would work on this.

no these need to be painted to your color need.. although it does have pre painted black color... and should conform to Federal Motor Vehicle safety standards as long as you can see the back without problem

I don't think they can be painted. The paint would not hold onto the casings.

Some are but some are painted with a gloss. Check the details on the handle description and it should make this clear. You will probably have to paint with a primer first in order for the paint to stick to the plastic, but it should be paintable.

The only option I had was black. You can always have them painted after you get them

No, I do not know the answer to painting the posts. I did not consider painting my posts. Good luck with your decision to paint or not to paint and let us know what you decided.

Haven't had them long enough to answer that but you could spray a clear coat of uv protect paint I would think. I plan to repaint when needed
