Can anyone recommend a good sliver wheel spray paint and primer or refub kit for doing my alloys. Im going to purchase a little shot blaster and get a shot of a compressor and try it myself. Cheers

For the amount it will cost you to buy the gear, I'd just take them to a powder coaters and let them do it. They will blast your wheels, then acid etch them and then podercoat to whatever colour you want.
When I used to do BBS splits, I used to ask for high sparckle silver, it was immense. Plus being podercoat, was virtually bomb proof and laughed at brake dust.
There are so many variants, you can even get chrome powdercoat now although I have never used it myself.
You will need a pretty decent compressor to run a media blast gun, at least 100l tank for it not to be too much of a stop start job but ideally 150l as a min with a 2 horse motor.

You ideally need over 10cfm to run blasting stuff
To paint wheel you ideally need to 2k laquer to top to protect the paint beneath also
I've used sparkle silver and its brilliant, really bright silver with a glittery flick to it
