As far as I am concerned it is a kind name... But if it isnt telling you much maybe you could suggest any paint to finish off my wheels. All I need is a paint which can be applied by smal brush as elements which needs painting are so small and not shaped. All in all I need something which will look good and smooth even if done by brush.

Solvent Nitro - is a mixture of organic solvents used in such industrial paint and coatings to dissolve (dilution)  varnishes and paints. Chemical composition is not subject to the standards and, therefore, depends on the manufacturer. Most commonly used is a mixture of toluene (70%) and acetone (ca. 30%), in addition, some manufacturers use xylene, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, alcohols and other additives.

I need to do another 3 wheels like that (they are silver, need to fill black)..... Will enamel be any good? I need to use brush as I will get crazy with sticking another 3 with tape....  :cry:

ha ha you said a tiny amount! thats a fair bit of paint going on there i would not use a brush and take the time to mask off the areas you will get a much better finish if you use a brush the paint will get sticky even with the use of thinners as for petes tip of hammerite smooth go for it however you need to use the spray version . i had similar areas to paint on my alloys and i know the pain of masking off however you will get it right first time also when you spray (if you choose that option) spray thin coats and leave to dry four thin perfect coats are always better than one with runs...have fun.
