yep  i did my wheels in gloss white and also used the grey primer to prime them, used the gloss black to do my roof liner and all the pillar trims too, the lacquer is ok too but seems rare to find it

I tried some of this but i found it spat everywhere and made a mess. Didn't spray fluent either. That's my imo.

dan did you warm it up and shake it well?
also check the bottom of the tin when you buy them, if the bottom (underneath) is misshaped, dont buy it! iv had a few like that, didnt spray rite/equally
otherwise is great stuff. iv done loads of bits as you will see in my thread... wheels are still great aswell
tip id say though, once prepped and primed, take your time to flat the pimer down with a finer grit. kind of like high build getting smoothed down... more time spent prepping = a better finish

also 'alloy wheel silver' is a 99% perfect match to 82l star silver

With your eyes closed, it could be a 99% match.
With them open, looking at that pic of the boot lock surround, its miles out.
