   would it be a piss-take to spray these black? i.e. all the sanding needed to get into every corner etc?

   i think he means piss-easy lol .take time over the prep work (sanding back to the metal, priming etc) and it's a lot easier than you'd think. just don't rush it. plenty of threads about it which go into more detail and the ins and outs

    You should be able to get them painted in 8 days but make sure they've had chance to fully dry before fitting them.

    Just let the tyres down and mask them up, using a proper spray gun should produce better results and look in the yellow pages for paint suppliers it should work out cheaper.
