See My Scooby mate,

Bought the car like this, I think the contrast is good. Also like the white wheels with this colour but a total bitch to keep clean

Nutty,

How long have you had those alloys? Were they originally gold with black painted over it? I have noticed on my alloys that the black is flaking off (after 4 months) and you can now see the gold underneath. They were done by Subaru dealer themselves - how crap!?

What is the best way to ensure they the paint dont flake off? How many coats are required? What coats are required? Seems to me that a single layer was sprayed over the original gold and now they look tacky. Can you or anyone else provide me with some sound information so that I can get the job done "properly".

Thanks
