Anything but black. Hell, I'd say leave 'em gunmetal but I'm assuming they're in rough shape which is why you want to paint them.

I say go with a metallic black/white lips and lots of clear coats...just MO. Also make sure you order the color matched white paint for your car. It would be extremely aggravating to spend all that time and effort only to have different shades of white. You won't be able to pull it off unless it's color matched and you take your time to do it right the first time.

Don't do totally flat black. It will look like crap real quick. At least do satin, but black is getting SO played out.
