I did them myself so it didn't cost anything more than the cost of the paint. To do it I took the steps off, removed all of the plastic pieces, cleaned the steps up real good, sanded them down with the R.O. sander and some 320 grit paper, cleaned them again, sanded with 600, cleaned them a second time, then used a good primer and paint. Finished with a couple coats of clear.
you can paint them yourself or powder coat them black.
for painting you want to sand down the chrome to a brushed aluminum look and then spray self etching primer and then black paint...
