Hey I just used 1 pound a tin paint in a rattle can from pound shop worked a treat no need for primer as the paint is classed as primer might need to laquer but that's about it and thank you

it will help when lowering it and if you get wider wheels otherwise the wheels will scrub and shred the tyres so it is best to but see how it goes mate
