Then basically go over the scuffed areas in thin layers. leave bout 30 mins between layers for the paint to dry. Don't try and paint too much in one go otherwise the paint will sag and drip. And make sure you clean the wheel thoroughly before you start otherwise you'll have a grey paint job. I was pretty happy with my results but it depends on how badly the wheel is scuffed, about 1/3rd of my wheel rim was scuffed through to the metal.

where did u look on MINI2 to get the exact color of the Alloys?? I'm interested in getting this touch up paint.
