The appliance epoxy only comes in gloss black, gloss white and that egg shell white. I don't know much about paint, so I'm not sure if there is another off the shelf epoxy that works as great. Hopefully someone does!!

You can use potasium permanganate to chemically dye aluminium black

LEAVE THEM ON! Tape 'em off, and Plasti-Dip em. Any color you want, and you can get gloss or flat. If you change your mind, peel it off. My bike has been dipped for a while now, and not a single, chip, scratch, or ding. 1/2 the work, yields just as good results!
