If done right, it will last. Gotta clean them really well, use adhesion promoter, good primer, and good two-stage paint with at least two coats of clear. If you go out and rattle can them without good prep, it'll chip off.

I don't have a pic with it off, but in my sig, you can see how mine looks painted - did it myself at home using automotive two-stage paint (base coat plus clear coat) in rattle cans. Came out fine and has been done for three years now.
