All sealed up and coated using upol raptor tinted with Alfa Rosso 530 colour comes out slightly off as raptor is a not clear but a transparent off white

Is it hard when it sets ? Wished I had used it on my car.
Good luck on the project.
It's very hard wearing but also flexible it's main use is for pickup truck beds so it's design to with stand lots of hard use its better than any spray sealer or stone chip that I've come across
They are huge! Gearing and ride height affect of the 20" diameter aside, Suds definitely work best on 195/205 width tyres (normal road tyres) and upto 15" diameter. For softer performance tyres you can easily get away with 185's unless you have lots of power. On wide tyres they lose their poise and adjustability - yes there's plenty of grip but much less feel. Some of that will also be a huge increase in unsprung weight - at least 2 x standard due to those wheels being strong enough for a car more akin to the weight of a big BMW/Mercedes.
Don't worry to much about the wheels they are from a 2006 jag XJR that I've been working on . I had just fitted four new tyres and walked passed Alfa from tyre bay and tried them in the arch for a laugh
I'am sticking with the rim stock 100+ wheels I fitted in the 90s 7x15 with 195/50/15 but I'am on the look out for some cheap 15 fiat wheels that I will get banded to 7x15 and fit s2 wheel centres
It was good and in the photos it looks like a bit of filler and it's ready to paint but the reality is there's so much time needed on getting door gaps and other panel gaps right before I can even think about paint prep

That is what yards are for at weekends .
Gives you a lift when you feel bogged down.
I used to give mine a run around the yard when I felt I wasn't getting anywhere. It helps.
