you'd need to split them to do the job properly... it would be a pin in the arse job and you need special tools i think!?

Just thought on

Is there a specific silver spray you should use for your alloys?

and...

How would you get the shine back? Do you just put some polish on when its all done?

just pick a colour you like and make sure you use loads of laquer on top to get a deep shine!  :smiley:

Could be me but I think the laquer always looks better if you can put it on as thick as possible without it running ?
