Youre going to have to get them painted when you get them on anything other than those, or find a company thats willing to paint them before shipment for you.

Buy bare metal, stop by Home Depot, and buy a rattle can of the exact color you want.

I donʻt mind painting - just didnʻt think that was an option due to constant use. Any thoughts/links on what paint and how to paint etc are appreciated.

I know you didn’t ask me, but I was being serious. Spray paint. It’s cheap, you can get the color you want, and when you scrape it, you can touch it up easily. You don’t even need to buy bare metal—you can just paint over the black powder coat (not a bad option since you’re around salt water).

You could also buy bare metal and find a shop that powder coats. There are colored options, but it might not be exactly what you’re looking for. If the shop is good, it will be more durable than spray paint but much harder to touch up. It will also cost significantly more.

I've always had good results with the Rustoleum brand. Also, you will want to scuff sand before you spray.

I've painted bare metal rock sliders with Rust-Oleum self-etching metal primer, then several coats of High Performance Enamel. Holds up great. The secret is in the prep work -- sanding and thoroughly cleaning all residues beforehand.

This is definitely the way! I forgot about that self-etching metal primer, and now I'm thinking I should have used that on one of my house's outdoor light boxes. Oh well, if they start to peel, now I know what to do. :)

Does the enamel spray on evenly? I guess Iʻd need to set up a little paint box so no dust get on them while spraying.

Yes. Like all spray paint, the key is light even passes. You build thickness through multiple coats, not by spraying heavy.

Yes, you just need to practice a bit. Also, get one of those handles for the can so you don't have to awkwardly push the button down.

Any quality primer for steel.
As for paint, you can get spray cans on Amazon of most colors that are a 2 part enamel. It will have an inner capsule in the can to puncture & then shake thoroughly. This paint is almost(almost) indestructible.
