Default Painted 10 Spokes...

I tried doing a search but all i keep getting is an error...
Anyway, I'm picking up a set of 10 spoke SS's and i want to paint 'em. Anyone want to give me some tips and the exact paints they used. I'm thinking of doing that Anthrocite color but black is always cool too.
Oh, and if you have any pics of your painted 10 Spokes...Post 'em up.

Thanks.

My old roomate is the national sales manager for a company that sells all kinds of buffing compounds for boat manufacturers, like Sea Ray, Brunswick, ect.... He has all these different compounds that I tried. As far as buffing I just used a variable speed buffer and alittle water.
