Did you use special kinds of laquer and paint?

I'd like to avoid waht happened to toxin.

Cheers

i used specific paint and laquer for alloy wheel reburbishment. the paint must also match ur existing wheel colour for the best results. build up the layers of laquer- this will help to prevent the flaking.
