About 2" in diameter and 3" high.
When my mates boss bought it a few years ago they american company were offering free refills for life, they have stopped that for new customers now, so considering they do a lot of expensive cars, its actually good value.

Weird. Why not just charge a normal fee for a one off pot.

Crazy warped business freaks...

P.S. Nice shiny bike, i guess.

Thing is, they charge the same anount now but no refills at all i think

The money spent on high end products is massive, but then thats why customers are willing to pay £600 for a paint correction and £300-£400 for top ups.
