buying new ones is probably your best bet, some people opt to paint them but if you do that make sure you still have a way to check the fluid level

Make covers for them from stainless, or aluminum, or fiberglass.

I thought about this too. At first I wanted to paint them, but I found out there are relocation kits that replace those white tanks with smaller tanks that will hide under the front clip. I've decided to go that route.
