Was also supprised with how it came out,its a standard issue silver they have and I only used 250ml of the 500ml I bought,the harderner and little thinners makes it more obviously. But I meen if I scratch it I can just go buy again without having to mix it specially so I'm glad for that.

@dj7 wheelworx charged R450 a rim for buckling when i went there.

think i'm going to DIY my mx6 rims to get them back to original colour. how long did you leave them to dry?
