hammerite for your drums
Take your arches off, clean them up with white spirit, primer them then spray them matt black

Yea about 7 10mm nuts on the rears that are easily accessible with the back wheels off.
The fronts are held on by the same but are a bit harder to get at, personally I take the whole wing off which is a lot easier than it sounds (about 7 10mm bolts) but the bumper has to come off as well.
You can just undo the bottom bolt on the wing at the very bottom of the wheel arch and pull the wing away from the car. You can fit a 1/4 drive ratchet in the gap, just don't bend the wing out too far.
