Thanks for all the positive comments  :) 
________________________________

Okay here goes i'll try and make a list of all the stuff i used in steps below...

1st of all I used this stuff the clean the tyres/wheels to ensure I don't rub grit/dirt into the alloys  :y
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330421830618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

2nd step I took was to rub the outer rim with BLACK AND DECKER medium sanding discs I had lying around roughly 1 hour per wheel..

3rd step to get a fine smooth finish i used these for roughly 45min per wheel one took 2 hours :o ;D ...

4th Step pain them etc with this make pain / lacquer...

5th and final step after 2 days dry time cut them and polish them and finally use this amazing stuff for car body and the wheels jobs a gooden  :y

Hope this helps a little, I'm sure there is a better way to do them but this was just what the doctor ordered for me :) :y
