What did you paint it with that the paint is fading on them already?

Didn't realize that you painted them at all, but looked at your garage, and they look good painted!

My 2¢:
I'd suggest ordering some good automotive paint, clear coat, primer, and adhesive promoter online and go all out. Take them off, sand 'em, prep 'em, paint and clear coat. That way you can have them color matched to your sedan, and they ought to be as durable as the paint on the car, and less susceptible to fading (or at least fading only as much as the car itself.) Set you back $50 maybe less for some rattle cans, and if you had extra, no biggie, good to have around just in case.

I color-matched my front emblem and it turned out pretty decent, I think and I never really spray-painted anything before!

What the hell are you talking about?
