Just some normal spray paint from my local car shop.

It was called "something grey (metallic)" but there were loads to choose from, I was there for around 20 mins thinking of which colour. I did contemplate pink but then I realised im not a fag.

Haha really? That's surprising. I saw my first metro today, after around 4 months of seeing another one up here. They are so rare around my area, can't wait to get mine on the road.

Well, i know you're not referring to me as you said 'young lads'

As for your wheels, white is good, it makes them look bigger, give them a good few coats, i'd say at least 4, from different angles, if you know what i mean, to get in all the gaps. for something a bit different, plasti-cote do some rather interesting pearl laquers, i had a red gti once with white wheels and a pearl gold/sky blue laquer.
