I want to paint the centres black but not sure how to go about doing this?

Rub down, primer, spray black, lacquer (although not after shiny as it wouldnt look right)

Any help would be cracking :D

you can get a satin black although i think a gloss black would look great!

That's exactly what I want mine to look like :)

Is the silver just paint or is it lacquered aluminum??

Thanks for that :)
