   hi, just wondered how hard is it to spray alloys a different colour and do a good job of it? my standard vtr alloys are flaking in places so was gonna refurb and spray em black and maybe go for a dark theme on my silver vtr.. Ive read the guide but is it easyish or do many ppl have problems with it? what do ppl think about going for a dark theme? thanks
