de-grease em

rub em wet with 1500 wet n dry,

n spray the bastids!

two or three coats minimum and then a couple of coats of laquer!

in between each spray let it dry n then rub it 'flat' meaning take the sheen off the top of it, then spray agen

depends on how damaged they are.

For best results remove the tyres - that way the paint wont chip round the rims.

Make sure you lacquer them
