    lmao



    use (knifing putty) for filling,, very (fine grade paper) too finish the fill,, (alloy paint) sometimes doesn`t quite match the old so may have to do hole wheel,, if tyres stay on (mask tape) them very well, avoid messy overspray,oh yeah (lacquer) aswell ,, apply this in hot sun (stops runs, sort of melts them out)
