am wanting them gloss black, if i sprayed them with a gloss black tin spray would they shine up good and wud it run off with the rain etc??

or if i took them in to be sprayed properly how can i get them sprayed so that they never stone chip and luk a mess..

cheers in advance guys

if you spray can them then make sure you had a feww coats of laquer on after. should be o.k. but for the size and cost just bung them in a body shop.

yourz is the reason i bought them mate when we met at the meet at escape

then i asked vxrdean what they were off lol

just with my gloss black bits they look outa place

I brought some of these and Paulk sprayed them black for me.

Personally i didnt like the look.

With self painting they wernt very smooth, the only wau for a smooth finish is either to put some time into them or have a pro do them. Going to be next to impossible to stop chips unless you got some clear 3m film and wrapped them

i was gunna paint them my self, but my unc is a painter so e did them free for me lol
aswell as the rest of the bits on my car, but i have painted wheels b4 wiv halfords paint and its alright you know jus take ya time let and let it dry etc.
