   cheaper to spray them i had mine powdercoated and he only charged me 10 quid as they can throw them in the oven easily with something else. but yeah just rub em down good hook them on the washing line and give them a spray will look fine and last agers if u prep and spray them right.

   I have some paint lying about wich would do for this, Might be a daft question but do they have to be black? Was thinking of doing them white as i have a blue saxo and im looking at getting my alloys sprayed white.

   do em what ever colour you wish.
   either rub down primer, colour, lacquar
   or rub down and hammerite them. both are pretty good and easy to do
