Painting Fuchs

My fuchs have a polished rim with the the pedals and back black. I think they came with a black satin finish now faded. I'm looking at painting them glossy black or semi gloss. Anyone paint theirs glossy and can you send a pic of them? Thanks

I would go with a semi gloss. The original surface was anodized and dyed black. If it is just looking grey, you can put vaseline and bring it back really well. But if the dye has faded, then a semi-gloss repaint will bring them close to stock look.
