If I would do this , use a grade 240 or higher sanding paper so you don't have any "rubbing marks" after the paintjob.
I would bring them to a body shop for paint because paint with hardener and thinner is much stronger and last longer against the road elements.
Paint from a spraycan isn't strong structual wise.
IMHO.

As for painting them, I just cleaned them with a degreaser, primed them (rattle can) and painted them with an enamel spray paint. I considered using a high temperature paint, like an engine enamel, but I sprayed my original AR Torq-Thrust D's in a similar fashion over 14 years ago and they have held up fine.
