i'm doing mine at bthe minute. i've been stripping them with a sand blaster. it brings them up a treat and it took me about 4 hours to totally strip them back to bare alloy. i'm filing and sanding the lips myself and i'll be using rattle can paint to spray them should have them finished by wednesday.
if you want i'll put up some before and after pictures
