im going to get my alloys refurbed at somepoint soon...

now i'm considering getting them done black, but the other day I saw a saxo vts, which has similar style alloys, but the guy had them completey polished and it looked mint!

any one got any idea if that would look any good on a sprint blue 20vt? (awaits some photoshop guru to read this xD )

as long as you take your time when painting them they can look really good, i did my old ones myself in cossack grey and spent 3 weeks doing all four of them.
cleaned, rubbed down, filled, rubbed down again, 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, 3 coats of laquer.
had a few chips after 3 years (mainly down to rough tyre fitters) but still looked good.

is it just ordinary primer, paint and laquer that you use?
