First of all your want to strip all the old paint and the rust and get rid of all grease / oil etc.
Primer, paint, lots of laquer & hope it doesn't crack.

Id probably say hammerite mate? very durable paint isnt it and can be applied to metal with no prep work. Thats what id use anyway, afterall there springs and not really on full view

its only to smarten them up for now, i did say id remove rust etc first

if i use something like hammerite sureley it wouldnt need primer and laquer?? or do i

dont mind doing it, but im looking to tidy them up as i know eventually they will crack/peel

no mate you dont need primer and laquer, just slap the hammerite on

i think you can also get hammerite in a spray can so that may be better to use
