Would it be worth giving one a go or should I bite the bullet and get it done professionally??

I tried the Halfords one a couple of years ago. It was useless as the grey colour was way too flat and didn't match the wheel colour.

Try and find out the colour code for the whell and get the correct paint. You'll find lots of write ups on the web if you do a search.
