How's this etch primer?...

Anyone used this on alloy wheels before? Is it any good? I like the price, but it does look a bit "Halfordsy"

I used the uPol stuff, but it's double the price!

Yeah, I'm trying to do this on the cheap... But hoping for the best results!

Have you been watching Gordon Ramsey recently?

Not that bad a price as well if it's that good. Can I assume it's grey?

Theyre still selling some upol stuff at my local garage - they have the acid etch primer for under £4 for 500ml can but it says its for trim so guess its suitable for plastics only......
