   Decided Im taking off the colour code and going back to the grey/black colour. I dont want the repainted in gloss black but what kind of stuff can you use to get them real dark and shiney?

   spray em in satin black. Keeps em looking as though they have just been back to blacked etc all the time. Easy to get a good finish as it doesnt have to be shiney like gloss. it has more of a sheen and just looks as though they are new and clean.

   Ive heard storys about baby oil, dont listen to them. Bollocks. Comes off in the rain!
   
   Also some people suy just getting a torch close to them works, as long as you dont set them on fire! Again, stupid idea.
   
   I use back to black, but dont rub it off. Works like a charm. Heard its good to use a scouring pad with back to plack on it, to work it in. Then respray after.
   
   Let us know what you do and how well it works
