You can have them done in zink-oxide similar to many of the original components...
Or most actually have great luck with just a chassis black paint, or a graphite color paint.
Mine have been painted for years with out cracks or problems... so the most cost effective would be to paint them yourself.

WOW! $300?  I had a local plater do both my hood springs AND hinges as a set for $150 They came out great. I also only wanted to do the springs but the plater pointed out they would have to charge me almost as much the hinge/spring combo.

personally i would just use a paint that has a flex agent in it, or paint for urethane bumpers. that way it won't crack. you can get it at murrays.
