I used standard halfrauds spray paint.... I wrote a guide on the imoc knowlege base though it aint brill. All i'll say is if you rub them down to bare metal, make sure to prime them with an etching primer. Use liquid metal to fill kerb marks and a file / sand flat. And take your time painting them and rub it down plenty to get a nice flat finish.
