Don't paint them with latex, it will take 2 or 3 coats to cover it, and
you'll be disappointed with the results. I've have good luck painting metal
with Rust-X paint. The stuff is oil base, high solids and designed for
painting metal.

My Rustoleum painted garage door has lasted 9 years so far and still
looks very good. It is fairly high gloss though.
