Not used it, but should be fine. Usual prep will help. If in doubt cover with some clear laquer ?

Is that reflective paint? That could be kinda cool on wheels, any choices of colour?

I saw what I think was a Citroen van with yellow fronts and orange backs yesterday. :sick: The rest of the van was standard, apart from the back being covered in stickers. I retract me previous comment about it possibly looking good :D

There's a Civic in another town near me with its wheels done with that paint. Looks mental  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Yeah should be fine but as previously stated usual prep required.
 Also heat up a pan of water and sit the can in it for approx 10mins makes sure that it goes on nice.
Obviously shake the can thoroughly and continue to shake (the can) whilst using it.
Another wee tip is if you have a heat gun, this maybe overkill for your needs, but warm the wheel prior to spraying and ensures that paints sticks really well. There is obviously a doing and an over doing, so, use your judgement. :smiley:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
