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

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.
