The plastic primer is not expensive, nor difficult to come by, and it works well too - I did my grill with it using a matt black top coat.

If you have the silver paint and laquer as aerosols then it can be done in your garage, assuming you are a dab hand with an aerosol can!

I cleaned it with soapy water, then petrol, then let it dry. No sanding required as the surface is rough already. May not sound like the best preparation, however it worked a treat!

Silver could be a bit unforgiving I suppose, try it out on a small panel to start with, maybe the detachable bumper skirts.

my nice alloys here
Discovery TD5 or Range Rover Alloy Wheels/Tyres on eBay, also, Wheels with Tyres, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 19-Sep-08 18:02:03 BST)
As your cars silver, i would advise to get them done in a paint shop, silver is not a easy colour to match.
