If so can you acheive a decent finish with them on some minor kerbed wheels?

Thanks

I refurbed my rear alloys using high build spray primer to fill in the minor scratches, putting on 5 coats of paint and then a few coats of clear.

As always, the final result will depend on the time and effort you put into it and preparation is the key.
Given they are asking for less than the cost of 3 rattle cans, it may well be worth a look.

Mine looked fantastic, though they were finished in white, until the tyre fitter got hold of them and the paint has just peeled away where the fitting machine has rubbed :cry:
