How do you paint them?? Do you reckon they would look good in any other colour?
Also as I have said in other posts I dont really want to do anything like that incase some chav knicks them again

To paint them you need to take them out first mate, then get the sand paper out and attack everything until its all smooth then primer then paint! As for colours myself i wouldnt go for anything eye cathing just go subtle maybe panther black like kaxe has on his st?
