Yep be sure to use a wax and grease remover before priming and painting so they will adhere better to the surface .

Maybe use engine enamel as well, it's bit tougher than other rattle can paint.

true

THere's a product called Dupli-Color Metalcast that has a silver basecoat and then a transparent 'candy' looking enamel color that goes on top of it. It ends up looking like a nice powdercoat candy finish vs a regular solid color.


Here's some pics:
