Mine have been colourcoded java blue and moondust silver for almost six months now and no peeling. Secret is to use plenty of laquer and give them a polish up with a good quality car polish (e.g. auto glym super resin, raindance) before fittin them.

I used the plastikote burgundy metal flake spray , got it from halfords , some laqcueur ( forgive spelling) i had lying around the house.
The chrome effect was achieved by priming the actual vents n using plastikote chrome spray ( got it from homebase) laceur and then plastikote gloss.
Great fun a nice weekends work and well recommended

yeah i just used normal spray paint on mine but with propper plastic primer, i done a combination of moondust silver and royal blue looks good, i used royal blue [ERRR] it was the closest colour to me sparco blue pads and blue mats so it all matches, only just done it and was pissed off thinking i may not be able to use me heater on full wack to keep warm but if you have done that same as me and its stayed on ok then it should be ok cheers
