If you want them to last ... Powder coating is the only way to go!

Epoxy paint would be the best way if you want to do it your self.

I'll second the epoxy paint... I once chemically stripped, primed and epoxy painted (boat bottom paint for salt water) a set of white steel spokes for my jeep that was worked hard (mud/sand/rocks) every weekend. The paint held up very well imho... probably a lot cheaper than powdercoat, but expensive as far as paint goes-

I just used appliance paint form ace. It is an epoxy paint, but not as expensive as a commercial or industrial paint.
