You'd be better off just trying to get some than painting. Paint isn't cheap will take a lot of prep and time and also might not give all that great a results. They are awkward things to paint simply with their shape. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

You did when I mentioned it age's ago.

You said don't gloss black it they're a paint to do and won't look right.

I swear you did. But all the same I think it wouldn't look right either just something extra to scratch.
