You need to clean them very thouroughly with warm water and detergent. Then, wipe them down with either wax and grease remover or lacquer thinner. You have to get all the loose stuff off as well as any dirt and silicon from Armor All or similiar products that may have been used on it. Then give them a light coat of primer (I like light gray) follwed by interior dye (paint). You can use spray can paint available at most big auto parts stores although the color choice may be limited. They should also have the wax and grease remover or lacquer thinner. Not sure about the pitting or scratches, if they are not deep they shouldn't hardly show. Keep your paint thin so you don't fill in the grain pattern. You may be able to skip the primer but I always like to use it to make coverage easier and give a better bond.
