Whip em off, quick scuff up, mask up and a few light coats of Starlight Silver (Paint code MNH) will do the trick til you can get em done properly, on a nice day you'll get all four done !

Looking great though Bud :yes:

looking good fella, nice shine there right enough, i know what you mean about scuffed alloys annoying you and it won't stop till you manage to get them done. Hope you find somewhere soon:)
