Re-coloring aluminum extrusion

We use aluminum extrusion which we purchase painted black. These extrusions are 12' long and basically 'L' shaped. We often need to paint the outside face of 1 leg of this 'L' white or some other color. White is the most common. This is very labor intensive work. Does anyone have an automatic system for doing this work? Is there any sort of tape that could be applied and baked on? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
