Accessory bracket beautification

My accessory brackets are less than pretty, to put it mildly. Over time they've gotten that aluminum oxide look to them and I'm thinking it would be nice to make them look better. I'm not looking for shiny/eye grabbing, just clean.

What have you guys done to clean up the accessory brackets? The main set of options that I'm thinking of are some black engine paint or maybe sending them for black powder coating or some such.

For us with simple minds, what the heck is an accessory bracket?

Well, I'm basically dumping time and money into the truck to make it as good as it can be so I might as well have it be pleasant to look at when I'm spending so much time working on it!
