Is there an easy way of painting the slots black too?

What tools would you need for that?

Depending on the state of your wheels you may not be able to make them perfect but should still look pretty good.

Polished P's
If the car's a daily, it'll be a part time job just keeping them from corroding (I know, I'm running polished ATS rims on mine at the moment!)
It's a lot of work to do in the first place too, never mind the maintainance.
As for spraying P's black, it took me about a fortnight of evenings and weekends just to mask the P's off to spray them black!
If you've got a bucket load of patience and don't mind spending Sunday afternoons with some polishing compound, go for it… They'll look amazing! Just giving you a down to earth reality of living with polished rims though.
Don't lacquer over polished ally either, that'll just crack, go milky/yellow, or fall off anyway.
Elbow grease! (or mops and power tools? Take your pick)

I checked out what people thought of it and only found positive reviews.
They do another version but Protect-a-clear has additional UV protection. You'd only need their smallest size, the sampler should be plenty.
