    I would personally pay to get them refurbed rather than using a kit, though as you say, it can work out a little expensive. Guy I used to refurb one of my alloys recently charged £50, but the job was top notch.

    as Rob said its preparation is the key, make sure the surface is fully clean and free of any dirt

    I'd second this motion. Although not cheap, it is the more cost effective option long term. A better job is likely to occur and if the spraying goes wrong - you don't have to sort it out!
