Yes,this is concern that has been mentioned before..Perhaps put it down to the heavy metallic fleck contained in the mix for the blockage causing the problem.

Yesterday I ordered a aerosol of NMH (silver sparkle)from Autopaint St Helens (they mix it) plus a lacquer spray. Arrived first post today so can't fault their service. Once used I will post an opinion as to colour match.

I have had several sets from them so have a few on here.

They are good I would recommend them. I am sure there are some photos on here from people wheels they have done.
