Last can of White Knight "aluminium" I bought was a lovely shade of Houso Chrome. >:(
Complete rubbish.



This is the only pic I have of Houso's Chrome on the rear hub...I must have got the Aluminium version. ;D

I give my vote to generic Wheel Silver as suggested previously. It's a good match for most engine cases and your frame I'd say.  Coxy

Yep, that is the good stuff. Hope that I just got a mislabeled can, and they haven't actually ruined a good product.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I ended up with a "Motospray" brand Aluminium from the local independent auto parts store. I didn't have too many options in the end as I'd already given the bike a coat in enamel so had to continue with another enamel product. The colour looks the same as that on the rear hub in the previous photos, so another option if people need it?
