Doesn't last at all - I tried it on my old 205 gti and it didn't really last that well...

Powder coating is your only man. :wink:

Though a mate of JayGPvR is gonna touch up my alloys this weekend - I'll see how that goes.

JB WELD or DEVCON are the best to use for this type of job, JB WELD can be got in most good hardwares or halfords etc, DEVCON harder to come by but IMO is the best.
ive used both INSIDE PETROL ENGINES for reshaping transfer ports :shock: , and never had any problems whatsoever,
