and if you have access to a compressor and gun you could get good results as well.

i've sprayed with rattle cans and spray gun and the results are far better using proper equipment.

I'm tempted to do mine too as I can get them done over a weekend, without dropping the car or wheels off anywhere.

I did some vts alloys with rattle cans they came out well but not sure about doing the LCR's - its just taking the plunge and hopefully not cocking them up.

They did chip quite easily though but that's probably down to my lack of skill.
