    . That's cool and the price is excellent but it's coming from Japan and look how long it can take to arrive. If you live close to Japan than go for it or look for someone else selling it closer to you or even go to a local auto parts store and see if they can get it for you and how much. If you live in the US and you don't mind waiting than go for it

    . I used 2 cans for the hubcaps only. I didn't use the glossifier because I wanted the flat black look but I would say 1 or 2 cans of glossifier would be more than enough. Just remember the first coat do light and then regular coats after that. I put about 3-4 coats on them
