just prep it properly and it should work, maybe try an adhesive promoter like bulldog or something

Isn't there already a clearcoat on them from the factory?

Yes, I believe. If the clearcoat is in good shape, you could simply scuff that and lay your paint down on that.

But if it were me, I'd have em powdercoated.
