yh i spoke to him.. i went halfords and got 2 cans of  hycote heat resistant spray paint mate..that does the job 

you will need 1200 and 600 sanding paper too and also plastic primer and good laquer (again got them from halfords) cost £32 in total

aint done mine yet mate 

procedure: wet sand it with 1200.. then primer it.. lightly sand the last coat of primer give you smooth finish.. then spray on your colour (2 coats i reckon should do it) then laquer it and thats about it  

its just a patience game with it mate  

i wet for aluminium colour and going to do the ring around the VW badge red and also the 20v turbo red
