Sorry it took me so long to post the picture; i'm a challenged individual---mentally, physically, socially and otherwise.
Anyways:
Maybe they don't look as bad as i thought. i used, i think, crylon or rustoleum silver.
Again, i wasn't concerned about looks; i just bought them because they had some nice 11.5 slicks mounted on them which i wanted at the time.
As a suggestion, i think rustoleum has a new "hand hammered finish" spray which i used last summer painting a fence and it really looked good. You might look into that.
Oh yes, i see weasle29 mentioned that.
