..... Can you get it in aerosols?
I want to re-do my headlamp rings satin black. The last ones I did the paint came off and someone (not here) said I should have used etch primer. :?
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Is aerosol in a red tin, grey lid and silver writing!! :o:

Make sure you 'key' the surface with a bit of 1500 - 2000 wetordry / scotchbrite... Although the etch will eat in to it
