Looks gorgeous finished! Bravo!
BTW - thanks for the wheel during/after pic. I just grabbed some 17" GSXR 750 straight spoke wheels for my 1100 & I want to do the same thing with painting the centers and polishing the lip.
Got any tips on how to 'hold the line' between the paint & polish?
Did you just work 1" masking tape around the transition line?
Did you polish first then paint, or the other way around?

I taped off the center, polished the lip (doesn't matter if you chunk the tape ) then tape off the polished part, paint the center then clear the whole wheel to keep the polish part polished ( too lazy to keep up on the polish). Still polished to this day.."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

I'll probably clear with Permalac. It bonds really well to polished metals. They use it on brass/bronze polished bells for boats. Original formula smells more than regular lacquer but it's really durable.

I used wheel clear, it can take the brake dust and brake fluid without imbedding or dissolving the clear coat."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."
