not silver like that other guy, it looks like it does stock, red is the only color that is noticable but not rice, actually, it's close but not 100%.

Any specific paint recommended? I am looking at silver, mostly because after last winter they look like crap.

I was thinking of wire wheeling them with the drill attachment, but would this cause scratching?

A stiff wire brush will probably be sufficient. Wearing a dust mask, it took about 10 minutes to get rid of most of the dust, dirt, rust, and grime; making for a nice clear smooth surface for painting.
