What do you think of having a set of wellers painted black metalic in the middle and leave the outer part in nichkel and the central cylinder in chrome? I am considering doing this since mine have got them for about GBP 46 and have a very rusty finish. I took the idea from modern alloy wheels which do the same thing.
