Re:
I guess it would look nice on lighter colours, but not so much on the darker ones, especially not a black exy unless painted in Red 
EDIT: Just saw that it comes in all sorts of colours, so it's indeed a cool idea
Me like

Re:
A lot of the Navara guys use it to do the Navara wheels and roll bars.
Very easy to do and apparently it lasts a long time.
A great alternative to painting.

Re:
That's exactly what I had in mind.....the alloys of the Red Bull.....am sick of seeing the filthy look of them due to brake dust
Mark: Where do you get this stuff from? I have seen the wheel kit on the web for about $114.00 bucks and included 4 spray cans, does that sound like the right price?

Re:
I've been wanting to paint my logos and badging black for quite some time now, but like Jalal mentioned, I wasn't sure it would be worth the effort on a dark colour like mine. But now that I've the finished product, I think I might just go ahead with it anyway
Looks great!

Just get your wheels painted black professionally with a satin clear coat. I've had them done on a few cars. This stuff won't last a real long time on wheels.
I want to keep the factory finish intact and not have to worry about scratching the paint off and having to re-paint them all over again. This stuff is the perfect solution and for the price, even if you have to do it once every couple of years is still a better option than painting.
Am actually considering doing this stuff on the whole car on my convertible Merc, I reckon it will look awesome in the matt finish.
