Mine were the same way. I sanded them and then primed. Then I sprayed them with black and clearcoated. They look good now. You can definately tell that it's not stock though. The post covers are made out of a plastic with a metalized coating on it.

I just purchased a 2003 expy and before i took it home i nit picked it from the dealer... one of the issues was the black pillers between the doors, it looks as if the shine peeled off.. ford told me they would have to order new pieces (which they did) but that you cannot paint them.
part 2
when I went back to have them changed they took the old ones off and undernieth was painted as the color of the truck.. looks much nicer without the black. but it doesnt work so the black panels have to remain. the dealer told me that this is common..
