Halfords stuff I think is crap.
Pug stuff is really good, but tiny cans and expensive.
What are people's opinions. Will be used on interior bits and pieces.

I usually find clear is best.
Halfords sell some along side there wheel refurb paint which is miles better than their standard stuff.

Just a point...lacquer should be applied in a warm environment. I know all paint should but t makes more of a difference with lacquer.
I've never had a problem with the cheap halfords stuff but I find the wheel stuff better.

The halfords stuff is fine mark, you just to put it on reasonably thick, each coat has to have a shine.

mark use express paints by where i work, just make sure you do it in a warm place otherwise it will go shit, cold makes it go white.
