i did this a few weeks ago
sanded them a bit, washed them, did a few coats of gloss black (it came out looking more flat black than anything though) and then a few coats of clearcoat

i ordered the 1 3/4" chrome beauty trim hubs for them as well. i'll be taking pictures once i get my df210s installed
