    ok, i have a venetian red 1.1, and im thinking of painting my alloys either black or white (normal silver vtr's at the minute), first of all, which will lok better, can anyone photoshop me a photo please, and what kind of paint do i get, is there a "Alloy Paint" or what? im a bit thick?

    normal halfords spray cans will do the trick, i think white would look quite sweet

    also if you want a top quality finish take your time and use filler primer as well then it should smooth off and little curbing and stuff you have..

    White or black its upto you, ive had both on my car mines blue but both colours look nice just white is a pain in the ass to clean.
