   Can anyone recommend a good spray to use for alloys. Not to pricey if possible. Thanks

   Hammerite white gloss goes yellow over time. You want something with good uv protection such as u-pol or sikkens white gloss.
   
   u-pol is around 5 quid a 600ml tin
   There is a lad in the for sale section that sells something called body line and thats made by u-pol n he is a nice lad have a look on there.
   
   make sure you primer it and rub it down with 800 wet and dry for a smooth finish .
