I will do that. I think more peopple would be willing to try if they knew what was involved
I think i will stick with the filler for now as these dont have any kerbing its just corrosion. I might change that with the ones i'm going to take off the car

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?

One of two things.
Either spray them silver, metalic silver, good few layers and then laquer them and polish them like you would your body.
Or get them chromed, athough you cant do that yourself i dont think :/
Hope that helps.
