   You mean spray them? It's a fairly easy job. Just mask the edges off, and put a sheet of newspaper all round, so that you don't get any overspray going onto the car. Sand it down, use plastic primer, or high build primer, 3 coats of this, lightly sand in between each coat to rid any imperfections, 3 coats of chosen colour. If using matt black then don't laquer. If going gloss/satin black or colour coding then put 3 coats of laquer. Jobs a good 'un. Just be careful when taking the masking tape off, you might take the newly paint with it.

   Its not a cheap colour as citroen didn't make it available in touch up kits/cans. I got mine from halfords for the can.
