to be onist i did it myself these were just a couple of bbs i got for a fiver each with minor kerbing i just painted it all satin black with normal satin spray after giving them a good scrub didnt really key it up as didnt need to just wire brushed it..... then let it dry masked it up and sprayed the lip cause if u look there is a ridge just pask up from there but now i found spraying the lip 1st then masking that up then spraying centres is easyer if u look at pic u can see the light kerbing on edge but as i said these are the spares but it u have good edges i wouldnt bother spraying them, i will take some pics to morrow and show you

so a can of satin paint masking tape and bit of wheel acid to clean them before and a space in the shed and a hair dryer (thanks mum) haha just to help them dry
