They should clean up nice. Titanium is tough, you can use a brass wire brush. Later metal polish.
Not sure about painting, paint may not hold well.
Just be careful of the tips, they are flash chrome plated. Don't use too abrasive methods on tips, chrome polish should work nicely.

I used 000 steel wool. They clean up nice. I don't think I'd paint them as they have a nice gold patina.

Steel wool is the best call, that looks really nice! And yeah, don't paint them. Paint doesn't hold well on titanium.
