Are you going to write a DIY for this? I would like to restore my 15" AMGs to look as good as your Carlssons.

I could try but the shout out goes to my dad who helped me a lot with them. It's not exactly cheap even if it's DIY so I would only do it if they're in bad shape

is it for wheels ? they came out nice. Did you initially paint them white and not like it or is that the primer ?

Yes that's what he said. Thats the primer that was white. But it was cool cuz it also gave me an idea of how they would look white and in the end I figured silver matched the car better especially the grey moldings around the car

from the color of product & container next to the rim, i'm pretty sure it's evercoat metal glaze. hardcore glazing putty, good stuff!
