I wonder if there is a way to cover them in that plastic stuff they originally came covered in. Like dip them in some sort of stuff.

Power coat them bad boys, or yea experiment with that plastic coating you can get at hardware store for your tools.. I have used it on tool handles with great success. Then patient it and make money!

Harbor freight sells the stuff I think it's called plasti-dip. Can't be more than $10.

I paint for a living. Aluminum is a none ferrous metal. That means a magnet wont stick to it. You need a none ferrous metal primer. You 1st need to scuff the parts and mask where the paint is not needed and spray apply the parts. Get a cardboard box ,cut a hole in it for a hair dryer and hang the parts inside. Bake those guys until their good and hard. Check for hardness after cooling. Next your ready for your enamel. Sand those guys with some 200-300gt paper and apply your enamel. Rattle can enamel will work but automotive is much nicer and more durable. Let it dry to the touch between coats. Bake those parts hanging in the box. Dont use the oven in the house. Stink out...
