How did you prepare the hubs? Is this an etch type paint?
Thanks

just got back from fishing its not an acid etch type spray a light sand and a wipe to remove dust and grease and away you go takes 10 mins to dry little longer at this time of year but beware it is very free flowing once applied

I did this the other day with great results... That said, it's quite astonishing how the colour changes whilst it dries 15.5MY XS in Corris Grey with Black & Almond leather
