Well I have never seen those fading but theres no way you can paint them , and 175 is just too expensive , try junkyards.

 

Seeing where you are located, I would think the fading is actually the plastic coating over the chrome that had now started to be affected by your Florida sunshine and going opaque. Or damp or seawater/spray has got underneath this layer.I have the syndrome on many cars with similar chrome bits.

 

I haven't heard of this one B4. Mine are as new.

 

yeah mine are as new as well, and i live in south florida =)
