How much did you pay?

 

You will be best to scuff, wipe clean use bulldog then spray with a 2 part paint (or single stage then 2 part clear). You can get the color code for your truck and get the exact color paint. You will need some equipment (spray gun/air compressor and really good paint mask 3m cartridge style) the ALL 2 (stage) part paint is very toxic!

 

Not sure if it is an option for you but I plastidipped the chrome part of my nerf bars black over a year ago to see how they would look and it's still holding up perfectly, even after a pretty bad winter last year. A lot easier than painting and if you don't like it, you can peel it off. Mine are the Lund oval bars.
