Haha, what are the chances?! Was that a really common drill or something?

I ended up getting some of the paint that Gord recommended. I managed to get it from a local motor factors, the difference was it was branded as Carplan rather than Tetrosyl. The guy in the shop said that Carplan and Tetrosyl is the same company and the pictures and labeling on the can was exactly the same, apart from the name.
Anyway, I sprayed on a couple of coats of the silver and finally clear lacquer, with lots of rubbing down between coats of course
and here's the final result........

Well I thought I'd just update you all on the alloy wheel refurb.

Need to find a paint with a heavy metallic content so it reflects the light better.

So Dave are you happy with the Brightness/Silver of the Finish?? Still looks like it is too grey.
