aslong as you prep it properly etc then you should get a decent finish. you wont get a good finish with a crap prep

Looks abit tacky if your keeping the texture and rattle canning it black imo. Smooth will look alright though

Sand them down with 180, then 320, then 500, get some decent high build primer, give it a few decent coats, then 800 to flat off the primer, then gloss black.
Not a Corsa, but on my 106.
