Hi all

I am buying some new XS side steps as the rubber seal on mine has broken away.



I am considering once they arrive, drill the rivets out and to paint the chequered plate. My worry is, would the paint easily mark or are there some good pain products to leave a good hard wearing finish?

Thanks
Nick.
