Default Painting Drives

What is the proper way to refinish (Merc) drives that I have worn the black paint off? Just the lowers.

Red Dog just repainted his extension boxes and I think they turned out pretty nice. See what he had to do.

Many thanks to all and especially the link from klaw. It answers my question. monstaaa-I understand your response after seeing what it REALLY takes to get it right. Seems like a good winter project for a few days. Again-thanks to all who responded.

dupont black is 99k. in either imron, centari or chroma. use the self etching primer vari-prime follow with one of their hi build primers, then an epoxy primer, then paint.
