had a look at my wheels and as the wife is going into hospital to have my second child the car will be stood still so had a play with some WnD paper and it seems to take the damage and the rough areas off the wheels well so will get on to doing the hole lot over the next few days

well i use halfords own primers and laquare and i have a trade card so get a little discount

each one i used about a 2/3 of a tin of primer 500ml
a full tin of silver 300ml
and about half a tin of laq

prob not enough but it looks good and for a cheap job it works
