Tyre paint cost r420 posted for a 250ml can. I done 3 coats of paint on the rears and 2 coats on the front. I still have roughly 30ml left for touch ups etc. I applied my paint with those small sponge rollers,paint came out smooth and flexible for now.

Nice to find your thread Eldie. Might be joining the variant club soon.
Will definately be asking you for advice.
Regards,
Nick.
