all you gotta do is sand the strust with 1000 or steel wool to remove the paint, and its bare aluminum underneath. i did this to mine and it looked great for a while but every motnh or so surface rust would develope and they would need to be sanded and repolished, i got tired of that so i just painted mine back. i suppose you could clear them tho...

If you want them to shine almost like chrome:
Clean the black off with 320 grit sand paper or a wire wheel.
Then sand the bare metal with 400 grit...then 800...then 1000...then 1500...and finish it by wet sanding it with 1500. After that polish with a high quality metal polish (if you have a bench grinder use it with a polishing wheel.) After than put a quality clear coat on them or they will rust. I used some extra POR-15 Glisten I had, but any automotive gradeclear will work fine.
It should only take an hour or so a piece to do them.
