I've used the Duplicolor for couple liittle exterior things. They have one particular silver that matches the Audi silver (at least for facelift silvers).

I haven't had problem eversince I put sprayed them on a year ago. However, I had to repaint it once because I didn't do proper cleaning/sand down since the paint peeled off in a week (probably still dusty). I repainted and did a proper cleaning and the paint still looks great until today.

used them on a set of wheels a while back. worked good, just make sure you prep the wheels good before applying paint, or it will be pointless.

i'd recommend sand blasting them first (obviously making sure the lips arent blasted)

i'm not sure what it would cost to get them blasted. i'd look around on craigslist, as there are usually people on there who can do it.

and i just assumed you wanted to keep the lip the same as it is now, thats why i recommended not blasting it, but if you wanna paint it, then blast it.
